Abstract
A plastic ski boot having an attachment member mounted on its lower between the toe and heel, is adapted to be releasably attached to a ski. The toe and heel portions of the boot are shaped to facilitate safe and comfortable walking and standing, and at least part of the sole walking surfaces are covered with a high friction plastic for walking purposes. The forward lean angle of the boot when out of the binding can be lesser than normal to provide comfortable standing and walking, and the ski binding with which the boot is adapted to cooperate adds sufficient forward lean angle for skiing purposes when the boot is in the binding.
