Abstract
An arrangement for retaining a skier's foot within the shell base of a ski boot, comprising one or more tongues integral with the inner sides of the shell base, extending transversely to the longitudinal axis of the boot and at least partly surrounding the top of the foot. The tongues fold down along a drop line in a plane above the heads of the metatarsals and the malleoli, and are located between two planes secant to the plane of the boot sole and passing through the heads of these bones. Actuation of the tongues relative to the foot takes place from outside the boot.
