One of the two lever arms engages the edge of the sole of the toe portion of the ski boot. The movement of a second one of the lever arms is restricted by a locking and control element controlled by a stop surface provided on the housing. The second lever arm is released beyond a specific angle of traverse during an outward pivoting of the sole plate. The locking and control element is arranged pivotally on an axle located between the two sole-holder axles. The locking element is approximately heart-shaped and has support surfaces engaging the two sole holders. A housing for the toe part of the binding is longitudinally movable and the control element is a rod extending forwardly into a cavity provided in the housing, which rod engages a stop surface in the housing in a pivoted position of the sole plate.
