  • Alpine ski/walking boot
    Patent number: 5140758
    Abstract: An alpine ski boot having a curved sole and a rotating boot sole toe. The boot sole toe is rotated upward by hand to allow walking, which is facilitated by the shape of the sole: it is gradually curved from the midsole to the toe. With the boot sole toe rotated down, the boot will engage normally with universally accepted ski bindings and is suitable for any level of skiing. Unlike a conventional boot, the boot sole toe is not in contact with the ground while walking; thus no wear occurs which may hamper binding release.
