ABSTRACT:
A recreational boot attachment (10) adapts a boot (50) for sliding on snow, ice, and other natural and artificial surfaces. The ski device is constructed with a boot length flat elongate base (12) having a toe end (14), heel end (15), and flat bottom surface (16) for sliding. The toe end (14) is formed with a toe end brace (18) or bridge spaced above the base (12) defining a recess (20) for receiving a toe end projection of a boot. The toe end brace (18) bears against an upper surface of the toe end projection of the boot. The toe end (14) rises in the front of the elongate base (12) to join the toe end brace (18) and form a toe end plow (22) at the front. A heel end binding (40) is secured to the heel end (15) of the flat elongate base (12). The binding (40) includes first and second pivoting anchors (44,35,36) pivotally mounted on the respective sides of the base (12) spaced from the heel end (15) of the base. A binding strap (42) extends between the pivoting anchors (44) with sufficient length to extend around the heel (48) of a boot (50). The strap (42) can be secured at adjustable lengths between the pivoting anchors. The binding (40) includes a heel piece (55) with a step profile (46) for engaging the heel (48) of a boot (50). The heel piece (55) is formed with at least one channel (56) for mounting the heel piece (55) on the strap (42) above the heel end (15) of the base (12). The heel end binding (40) causes a compression binding force between the heel piece (55) and toe end brace (18) if the heel of a boot tends to separate and the angle between the strap (42) and flat elongate base (12) increases.
