Cross-country boots, like all Nordic equipment, attach to the ski usually only at the toe of the boot and are allowed to flex at the ball of the foot similarly to a normal shoe or boot. Cross-country boots generally use one of four attachment systems; NNN (New Nordic Norm), 75mm Nordic Norm ("three-pin" binding, "75NN"), d-ring, or SNS (Salomon ...
A pair of Nava System bindings with the skier in place. The boot is clipped into the binding, which is almost flush with the ski, and the control arm, black, is in place behind the skiers calf.
