Leverage devices for snow touring boot

A leverage device configured to support an upper portion of a snow touring boot either laterally, posteriorly, or both laterally and posteriorly, comprising:

• an adjustable posterior leverage member comprising a forward lean piece that is configured to rotate between a first position and a second position, such that when the forward lean piece is in the second position the forward lean piece defines a posterior leverage angle and is configured to contact a heel cup to provide posterior support to a snow touring boot;
• wherein the adjustable posterior leverage member is configured to provide decreased posterior support in a tour mode configuration, such that with the forward lean piece rotated to the first position the leverage device provides decreased posterior support to the upper portion of a snow touring boot when the upper portion of the snow touring boot contacts the leverage device in tour mode;
• wherein the adjustable posterior leverage member is configured to provide increased posterior support in a ride mode configuration, such that with the forward lean piece rotated to the second position the leverage device provides increased posterior support to the upper portion of a snow touring boot when the upper portion of the snow touring boot contacts the leverage device in ride mode;
• wherein the forward lean piece is configured to be further adjustable such that the posterior leverage angle of the second position is adjustable to one of multiple preset positions, thereby enabling the adjustable posterior leverage member to have one of multiple preset angles when the forward lean piece contacts the heel cup in the second position.
