Summary

Description
English: A pair of bright-red Nordica rear-entry ski boots used with the Look Integral ski binding system.

The basic boot design is a typical late-1980s rear-entry design. Nordica's version of this design used two pivots, seen as the white disks near the heel. The larger pivot at the front allowed the leg to flex forward during skiing, the smaller one at the rear allowed the back of the boot to swing rearward to remove them. Opening the two buckles and swinging the rear portion of the boot outward made them easy to put on or remove.

The Integral bindings clipped onto the extension on the bottom of the boots. This replaced the flanges at the toe and heel on conventional boots with a single plate-like mounting point with the same flanges. The advantage was that the mounting points were the same for every pair of boots, so the bindings did not have to be adjusted once mounted to the ski. This was designed for use in rental shops, eliminating the time consuming fittings.
