The invention relates to a boot for a binding, which is suited for alpine skiing, ski touring, cross-country skiing, telemark skiing and also for other snow sliding sports, the boot having greater comfort in wearing and moving. Moreover multifunctional components make it possible for the overall equipment with which the snow sportsman is burdened to have low weight. The boot comprises an outer shell for holding the foot and a coupling part for fastening the boot in the binding, the boot being held in the boot tip region and in the heel region of the binding on the coupling part. The outer shell is movably connected to the coupling part, the connection of the outer shell to the coupling part being made such that in the state of the boot fastened in the binding the foot held in the outer shell together with the outer shell can be lifted in the heel region and lowered again in a walking motion. Furthermore the outer shell can be locked relative to the coupling part and there can be a climbing aid and a damping device for damping of the walking motion on the boot.
Boot for a binding, especially a ski boot, with an outer shell (120, 252) for accommodating and holding the foot and with a coupling part (101, 251) attached to the outer shell (120, 252) for fastening the boot (100, 250) in a binding (200) so that the boot (100, 250) in the boot tip area (111) and in the boot heel area (112) can be held by the binding (200) on the coupling part (101, 251) and the coupling part (101, 251) has a connection to the outer shell (120, 252) such that the outer shell (120, 252) in executing a walking motion can be lifted off the coupling part (101, 251) in the heel area (125, 307) and can be lowered again onto it, while the coupling part (101, 251) is fastened in the binding (200), and the outer shell (120, 252) can be pivoted around a geometrical axis (A) transversely to the lengthwise direction of the boot, characterized in that the geometrical axis (A) of rotation is arranged set back from the front tip of the outer shell (120, 252), that a front (116, 425) and a rear component space (117, 426) are defined by the lengthwise position of the geometrical axis (A) of rotation in the interior (423) for holding the foot in the outer shell (120, 252), and when the heel area (125, 307) is raised off the coupling part (101, 251) in a rotation phase of the walking motion at least partial dipping of the front component space (116) of the outer shell (120, 252) into the interior (118, 121) of the coupling part (101, 251) takes place.
