ABSTRACT:
A binding for water gliding shoes (canoe skis) is provided with a flexible holding-down element (2) which may be placed across the instep adapting itself to the shape of the foot and stretched with its ends downward so as to press the foot against a support (1). For this purpose, the flexible holding-down element (2) is fixedly mounted on legs, on each side of the foot, of a vertically reciprocable holding-down shackle (3). The holding-down shackle (3) is preferably pivotable around an axis (4) arranged horizontally in front of the foot and transversely to the longitudinal axis of the binding. At open position of the binding, the user need only slip his instep under the flexible holding-down element (2) and pivot the holding-down shackle (3) far enough downward to obtain sufficient support and fix it in this position. The binding opens by simply pivoting the holding-down shackle (3) upward. The binding supports the foot adequately all around without shoes being required, and it is suitable for a great variety of sizes of feet and shoes. In case of fall, the foot may be pulled out from under the holding-down element (2) without having to open the binding.
