Abstract
An assembly of a shoe and retention device for use on a gliding board. The retention device of the assembly includes an attachment mechanism for attaching in a vertical direction and along a horizontal plane, which cooperates with a complementary attachment mechanism of the shoe, arranged in a central portion of the sole of the shoe. The shoe includes a skeleton that is constituted by a minimal force-transmission circuit which provides for the support necessary for practicing the gliding sport and the force-transmission circuit passes through the attachment mechanism of the shoe. The integration of the shoe having a minimal force-transmission circuit and its direct linkage with the attachment mechanism of the shoe make it possible to ensure a good transmission of forces and support for a minimum space requirement of the retention device.
