ABSTRACT:
A boot for use with a snowboard includes a binding for attachment to the boot. The boot includes a rigid lower and a flexible or rigid upper. The lower includes binding-receiving projections on the sides and heel. The lower includes notches at the sides that allow natural articulations of the foot while walking. The upper is fixedly attached to the lower. The binding includes a frame for attachment to the snowboard, a plurality of side engagement members to secure the front portion of the boot, and a heel engagement member for securing the rear portion of the boot. Hooks serve as side engagement members that receive the boot side projections. A bail and lever engage the boot at the heel projection.
