toe piece , auch: toepiece

In 1897, Huitfeldt further improved the design by changing the toe piece.

Before stepping into bindings, twist each toe piece to be sure it functions and to move the lubricants.

Alex bent down then and removed the toe pieces and released the ankle straps.

The foot is anchored to the ski by a self-adjusting piston at the heel and a toe piece.

Crampons attach quickly and easily to the toe piece of your Dynafit bindings.

Generally, the toe piece is designed to allow the boot to rotate to the sides, while the heel piece rotates up.

These toe pieces were fitted onto Ally's feet and the elastic was pulled and attached to the loops on the sides of the heels.

Spademan desired a binding that had no toe piece, allowing the boot to slide forward unimpeded.

Now the heel and toe piece move slightly when the ski arcs, allowing the ski to bend uninterrupted, which results in cleaner turns.

The ultimate evolution was the XM version, which also allowed the toe piece to rotated directly up, as is the case in a backward fall.

It had been found that friction between the ski and ski boot was much higher than imagined, enough to prevent the toe piece from releasing under certain conditions.

Nicknamed the "shelltoe", "shell shoes", and "shell tops" for their rubber shell toe piece, their iconic design is known as one of the major influences in the sneaker culture.

The original Rottefella eliminated the heel strap, which held the boot forward in the binding, by drilling small holes in the sole of the boot which fit into pins in the toe piece.

This means that the bindings can be lighter in weight since they do not have to address the difficult physics of always-free-heel telemark bindings that place intense levering and twisting force on the toe piece.
