2. Ski boot - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ski_boot

   A typical "universal" ski boot of the leather era. This example, by G. H. Bass, includes an indentation around the heel where the cable binding would fit, and a metal plate at the toe for a Saf-Ski release binding. The leather strap is a "long thong", used by downhill skiers to offer some level of lateral control.

3. Ski binding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ski_binding

   Alpine ski bindings have two functions: 1) Retaining the ski boot on the ski, 2) Releasing the ski boot from the ski in case of a fall to prevent injury to the skier. [15] The retention function typically involves stepping into the binding toe-first and pressing down with the heel of the ski boot, which causes a latch to engage the heel.

4. Cable binding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_binding

   In the late 1880s, a number of bindings using a leather strap over the toe and a second one pulling the boot forward under the toe strap were common. [4] These kept the toe of the boot on the ski, while allowing the heel to rise some distance. Fastening the straps to the ski was always a challenge, often requiring slots to be cut into the ski.

6. Look Nevada - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Look_Nevada

   The strap held the boot forward and kept the toe in the cup and under the strap. The system was designed to keep the toe firmly in place while allowing the heel to rise off the ski. This allowed for a smooth cross-country striding motion.
