The present invention relates to the combination of a ski boot (1) and a ball-of-the-foot binding (9), wherein the essentially inflexible sole (5) of said ski boot constitutes an angle (6) of at least 30 DEG at the ball of the foot and an attachment point (2) for a connecting shaft (3) is situated below the ball of the foot. The binding (9) includes adjustable elastic means (7) which via supporting surfaces (4) at the underside of the sole provide the possibility to select the angle (8) between the ski and the boot to be at least 0 to 30 DEG when the ski is raised free of the track.
