Abstract Clamping irons for ski boots, comprising a pair of toe-iron and heel-iron connected by means of a metalic band plate fixedly or detachably and adjustably, or by means of a coiled spring detachably and adjustably. Both of such connecting means can be bent vertically but cannot be bent horizontally, thus the ski boots can be easily and exactly clamped to the ski plate, removing any trouble at the time of ski running.
