This invention relates to a safety ski-binding of the kind comprising a heel binding and a front binding including sole-clamps to hold down the toe portion of the sole of a ski-boot. According to the invention, the sole-clamps are mounted to tilt about a pivot shaft which is arranged to extend transversely to the longitudinal direction of the ski, when mounted, below the plane of the bottom of the sole of the ski-boot, and they are capable of pivoting to a position in which they point forwards towards the point of the ski and are situated below the plane of the bottom of the sole of the boot. Moreover, each of the sole clamps has an abutment which retains the boot sole in the longitudinal direction of the ski, and a lug which retains the sole of the boot in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the sole, and furthermore the sole clamps are connected to a locking arrangement which permits them to perform their pivoting movement when a pressure threshold is exceeded.
