Abstract
To permit the closing of a slot (3) in an upper or gaiter (2) of a skiing boot, the confronting edge portions (4) defining the slot (3) carry outwardly protruding cams (5), which are formed with bearing holes (7), in which a U-shaped fastener (8) is pivoted on an axis that is transverse to the longitudinal axis of the slot (3). The confronting side faces of the legs (11) of the fastener (8) are adapted to cooperate with the outside surfaces (6) of the cams. Said outside surfaces (6) consist of inclined or helical surfaces so that the fastener (8) can be pivotally moved to approach the opposite edges (4) of the slot to each other.
