ABSTRACT:
A device for securing a skier's foot to a ski omits the necessity for the typical rigid ski boot and enables the skier to wear non-rigid shoes or boots. The invention relates to a device which is detachably connectible to the bindings of a ski and which includes a foot-receptive framework having interior expandable pads which may be inflated to press firmly against the skier's foot. The pads are inflated by a pump within the device which is operated by the user's foot in response to skiing motion and forces. The extent to which the pads are inflated is controlled by a pressure relief device interposed between the pump and the chocks.
