TOE STRAP

摘要

A toe strap includes first and second portions that together simultaneously engage the top surface and forward wall of the toe area of a snowboard boot. The first portion resists movement of the snowboard boot in an upward direction and the second portion resists movement in a forward direction. The top (i.e. first) portion and front (i.e. second) portion may be connected so as to form a toe cup or box that is dimensioned to fit closely against and around the front tip and top of the boot. The strap may be preformed to approximate the general shape of the tip of the boot (i.e. front and adjacent top) or the strap may be pliant so as to form or enhance a shape conforming to the tip of the boot upon tightening the strap. Upon tightening the strap, the boot is pulled firmly back into the heel hoop of a snowboard binding and the tip of the boot is held firmly down.
