<p>A removable, one-piece sole guard (10) for preventing crevices on a ski boot sole (12) from filling with snow, ice, and debris includes: (a) a head portion (13) including a substantially planar top head surface (32) that is substantially parallel to the bottom surface (19); (b) a body portion (23) adjacent the head portion (13), which includes a substantially planar top body surface (18) that is substantially parallel to the bottom surface (19); (c) at least one pin groove (24) between the head portion (13) and the body portion (23) that opens to the top of the sole guard (10); (d) two opposite, substantially parallel guard sides (22); and (e) projections (27) extending down from the bottom surface (19). A two-pin sole guard (10a) for a ski boot with at least two boot sole pins (14) includes a second pin groove (25) that opens to the rear. This simplified abstract is not intended to limit, and should not be interpreted as limiting, the scope of the claims.</p> |
