Foot securing device, particularly for ski boots

In a ski boot having a front quarter and a rear quarter pivotally associated with a shell, a foot securing device comprising:

• a movable element arranged for abuttment against a front portion of a skier's lower leg;
• means for movably mounting said movable element on said front quarter;
• at least one presser arranged inside said shell for exerting a clamping action on a skier's foot;
• at least one cable for operatively connecting said movable element to said at least one presser;
• wherein said means for movably mounting said movable element to said front quarter comprises oscillating means allowing substantially continuous oscillation of said movable element with respect to said front quarter in both forward and backward direction about an oscillation axis extending transversely of said front quarter, said at least one cable extending from a location of said movable element remote from said oscillation axis along a direction at least partially towards said skier's lower leg and extending away from said at least one presser along a direction at least partially towards said skier's foot, whereby said at least one presser is caused to automatically move towards and away from said skier's foot in response to a forward and backward oscillation of said movable element to thereby provide a continuous and proportional variation in said clamping action on said skier's foot upon corresponding increase in flexing of said skier's lower leg during skiing.
