Toe-piece for a boot on a gliding board including a chassis affixed to the gliding board; a body movable on the chassis; a sole-clamp movable on the body; a lateral release mechanism including a first elastic mechanism to return the sole clamp to engagement with the boot; a vertical retention mechanism having a second elastic mechanism arranged to continuously exert a return force on the body to bring the sole-clamp toward the lower surface of the chassis, the return force pressing the sole-clamp on the boot; at least one cam kinematically inserted between the second elastic mechanism and either the chassis or the body, the cam being shaped to modify, in relation to the chassis, the direction of the return force exerted by the second elastic mechanism on the body to attenuate a variation in the pressing force when the sole-clamp is away from the lower surface of the chassis.

A splitboard boot binding system with single multi-angle climbing wire. The pivotable climbing wire is configured for use with any compatible ski tour interface, and folds away under the boot binding baseplate when the bindings are transferred to a ride mode interface. In ski tour mode, the baseplate pivots on a toe axis and is supported by the climbing wire when the heel is raised. Advantageously, the climbing wire is very lightweight and seats interchangeably in a plurality of detent positions on a compatible heelblock. There are no interferences with conjoint use of a slide-in crampon seated between the heelblock and the toe pivot or with use in systems having a heel locker. Surprisingly, in some combinations the climbing wire may also be used to retain the slider track in ride mode. The combinations and sub-combinations require no tools for adjustment or operation and operate cooperatively.

A toe-piece for binding a boot to a gliding board, the toe-piece including a frame; two wings each pivotable in relation to the frame about an axis of rotation and supporting a lateral interface surface designed to come into contact with a front portion of the boot when the toe-piece is in a descent configuration. The toe-piece further includes a lateral release mechanism that includes a connecting element connected to the wings such that the displacement of the connecting element causes the rotation of the wings about their axes of rotation; a first elastic member, a first end of which is connected to the connecting member; and a body against which a second end of the first elastic member presses. The toe-piece further includes an adjustment mechanism that acts on the wings in order to position them alternately in a first configuration, in which each lateral interface surface is in contact with the boot, or in a second configuration, in which each lateral interface surface is away from the boot, for the same positioning of the boot in relation to the toe-piece. The body of the lateral release mechanism is movable in relation to the frame.

A front insert for a ski mountaineering boot has first and second heads, positionable on lateral portions of a front part of the boot, a first housing in the first head, a second housing in the second head, and two contact elements with respective holes for coupling with respective hooking elements of a binding. The housings and respective ones of the contact elements are reciprocally conformed so as to enable the contact elements to displace from internal positions with respect to the housings, towards the outside, so that the contact elements orient with respect to the housings so that the holes can misalign from an alignment axis to maintain the contact with the hooking elements following a rotation of the ski boot with respect to the ski.
