Abstract
Abstract A foot retaining device in a ski boot comprises a pressure element (1) arranged within an outer shell (20) of the ski boot at the neck area of the user's foot, and a cable (2) embracing the pressure element (1) and having one end fixed to the outer shell (20) and another end wound on a winding reel operable by a knob (15) accessible from the outside of the ski boot. The reel and knob (15) are arranged at a rear portion of the ski boot. Rotation of the winding reel causes the pressure element (1) to increase or decrease pressure on the user's foot. Ratchet gears are provided for retaining the winding reel and cable (2) in position in use.
