To ensure the resistance of a calf support and a step hoop against all loads generated during travel by means of a simple method and to dispense with a special locking mechanism for the calf support.
This binding is used for holding a soft boot to a sliding apparatus, a snowboard especially, by means of a boot holding element and a calf support 8 turning in a traveling/foot inserting condition. By means of a step element 9 connected to the calf support and engaging the boot, the calf support is set in the traveling condition, and in this condition, the calf support is protected from accidental turning resulting from the traveling condition. In the traveling condition, especially when a load is applied to the step element 9, the calf support 8 can give a support resisting turning to the foot insertion condition under a turning shaft 10 touching a supporting part 20 fixed to the binding. When the load to the step element 9 is removed for releasing the support to the turning shaft 10, sliding motion is automatically allowed consequently.
