Improvements in devices for fixing a ski-boot to a ski. The device, such as a front toe stop or heel fitting, comprises a baseplate perforated by holes through which pass screws which are used to fix the baseplate to the upper surface of a ski. Each of the holes of the baseplate is provided with a deformable holding member, such as a sleeve or washer located within the hole, having a through bore of a diameter substantially equal to that of the screws. Each screw is thereby held by its holding member in a hole in the baseplate during transportation and is ready in position when it is desired to fix the device to a ski. The holding members remain in position, attached to the baseplate, when the device is fixed to the ski and are prevented from rotating when the screws are being driven into the ski. The deformable members can be made of plastics, metal, cardboard or other suitable material capable of being deformed.
