Abstract
Abstract A clamping device for a ski boot is provided wherein the clamping device utilizes a loop connected to one side of the boot and received into a selected one of a plurality of suitably oriented slots in a fitting connected to the other side of the boot. The fitting is arranged in cooperation with resilient means which tend to close the slots and thereby hold the loop normally therein but which will yield sufficiently to enable the loop to be shifted from one slot to another.
