toepiece

Boot fastening front

A toepiece is the front part of a ski binding that clamps over the toe of a boot, working with the heelpiece to secure the skier's foot while allowing release during falls.

The term also applies to any protective or structural component covering the toe area of footwear: reinforced toepiece on work boots.
