Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a snowboard boot having a cleat located on a backstay region of the boot, the cleat at least partially securing the snowboard boot to a snowboard binding, the cleat forming a T-shape in a cross section taken perpendicular to a heel-calf direction of the cleat, the T-shape of the cleat configured to be received in the binding to limit forward movement of the boot; wherein when the boot is secured to the binding, the cleat contacts the binding to limit forward movement of the boot relative to the binding, and the cleat is prevented from upward movement out of the binding; and while the cleat is prevented from upward movement out of the binding, the cleat is able to contact the binding to limit forward movement of the boot relative to the binding in either of two or more different positions of the rear of the boot relative to the rear section of the binding in an up-down direction.
