Abstract

The invention relates to an assembly of a boot and a retention element of the ski boot. The boot has at the level of its tip a local asymmetry, that the retention element has a specific and symmetrical elastic retention element adapted to cooperate with the asymmetric zone in a manner such that the boot is freed more easily on one side than on the other. The invention relates also to a retention element and a boot considered alone, and to a pair of boots whose tips are symmetrical to one another.
