Experience
Versatile boot (piste/side piste) with an excellent compromise between precision and comfort. Its ski/walking mode will provide you with much appreciated walking comfort for long days on the slopes.
Hook adjustment
This shoe features 4 sturdy aluminum micro-metric hooks. You can adjust the length of the buckle by screwing or unscrewing the hook. The top hook has 3 positions to suit all calves. A wide adjustment strap at the top of the stem provides powerful, easy tightening of the upper shell.
What is FLEX?
To give an indication of the shoe's rigidity, brands define a Flex index for each shoe. This number determines the boot's rigidity: the higher the value, the stiffer the shell. A flex of 60 to 70 is considered suitable for beginners. A flex of 70 to 100 is for advanced skiers. Beyond that, products are designed for expert skiers. However, larger skiers can move up a level.
What is my shoe size?
Ski boot sizes are expressed in Mondopoint sizes. This is the length of the foot in cm.
Place your heels against a wall, slide a sheet of paper underneath, bend over and measure the longest foot.
For example, if your foot is 27.2cm long, you should choose size 27/27.5.
A size 27 boot is exactly the same as a 27.5.
How do you know if the shoe you're trying on is the right size?
With your foot in the shoe, close the hooks halfway. Can you go any further? This means that the shoe's volume doesn't suit you. Once your shoes are closed, perform 3 flexions. Stand up straight: Your toes should touch the toe of the shoe. When flexing, your foot should move backwards and you should no longer feel the toe. Bear in mind, too, that after a few days' skiing, the boot's foam will settle.
What to do about foot pain
1- Choose a thin, technical ski sock to avoid pressure points and promote blood circulation in the foot.
2- Choose a sole adapted to the shape of your foot to prevent it from crushing against the shell. Ask a sales assistant for advice.
How do I store my ski boots?
1- Aerate your shoes by removing the liner inside the plastic shells.
2- Close the hooks at the first notch to prevent the shoes from deforming and, if possible, store them in a cover.
3- Store them, if possible, in a dry place where the temperature is unlikely to fall below 10°C. The shoe's plastic will thank you!
