Abstract

This foot securing device, particularly for ski boots accommodating at least one presser, comprises a grip element accessible from the outside of the boot. The grip element actuates a plate adapted to adjust the pressure exertable on the presser at the metatarsal region. This plate interacts with the presser upon the actuation of a cable winding element, activatable from the outside of the boot and adapted to tension at least one traction element affecting the presser at the foot instep region. The device thus allows the upper surface of the foot to be secured in two separate points by means of a single actuation, while allowing a separate securing adjustment at the two points.
