Abstract
A binding element adapted to retain the end of a boot. It includes a body that bears on a jaw. The jaw is vertically movable, and its movement is transmitted to the return spring of the jaw, which constitutes a compensation for a backward fall. The sole of the boot is pinched between a support plate and sole-tightener of the jaw. The support plate is movably mounted about a horizontal and longitudinal axis so that a twisting of the boot causes an elevation of the jaw and thus, activates the compensation mechanism.
