ABSTRACT:
A ski boot is provided having a heel element rotatable about an axis in the heel piece which, by means of screw bolts, is secured on the wall of the sole of the boot within the region of the heel of the ski boot. The axis extends essentially perpendicularly to the surface of the sole of the boot. The foot covering of the rotatable heel element comes to bear on the support plate of the ski brake when the ski boot is secured to the ski by means of the front and back bindings. Because the heel element is rotatable, the friction relationship between the heel element and the support plate no longer impacts on the release characteristics of the front binding in the event of a fall occurring while turning or of a fall resulting from a head-forward fall during turning.
