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 ...

[11] The retention function typically involves stepping into the binding toe-first and pressing down with the heel of the ski boot, which causes a latch to engage the heel.
Alpine touring ski boot, binding, and ski crampon. The red spot below the toe portion is the pivot point of the binding about which the rest of the boot turns during a step, resulting in a movement similar, but not identical to a normal human walking movement - the shoe tip is always at the same height, because the skis are moved to glide at ...
