SNOWBOARD BINDING

摘要

A boot (20) is disclosed for use with a snowboard (22) having binding means for attachment to the boot. The boot includes a base (24), a highback (26), and an upper (28). The base includes a binding receiving plate (58) for attaching the boot to the binding means (64, 66) on the snowboard. The base also has toe and heel ends. The base (24) is formed with a toecap (30) at the toe end and a heel counter (32) at the heel end. Treat (34) projects from the bottom of the base for traction when the boot is not attached to the snowboard. The highback (26) extends upwardly from the heel counter (32) of the base. The high back provides aft support to the user. The upper (28) is fixedly attached to the base and is arranged and configured to receive the foot and ankle of the user. The upper has a rearward side adjacent the highback. The upper is more flexible than the base and the highback. A base strap (72) is connected to opposing sides of the base and extends across a portion of the upper.
