Thermoformable liner
Polyethylene liner, 3 mm thick thermoformable material. So when you heat your liner, you can compress its foam to create more space and comfort. The bottom of the liner is made of EVA, for extra cushioning in difficult snow conditions or when landing jumps.

Hook adjustment
4 micrometric aluminum hooks for precise adjustment to the volume of the foot and calf in the shoe.
Wide strap for powerful, easy tightening of the top of the shoe shell for even more effective tongue support.
What's flex?
To give an indication of the shoe's rigidity, brands define a flex index for each shoe. The higher the value, the stiffer the shell. A flex of 70 is considered suitable for intermediate to advanced skiers. A flex of 70 to 100 is for advanced skiers. Beyond that, products are aimed at experts. However, larger skiers can move up a level.
How to try on a ski boot
Once the foot is 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 large flexions by pressing hard on your shins (put your hands on your knees) to move your heel back into the shoe. Stand up straight: you should be able to touch the tip of the shell. When flexing, your foot should move backwards and you should no longer be able to feel the toe.
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 and bumping against the shell. Ask a sales clerk for advice.
3/ Thermoform your boot
4/ After 3 - 4 outings, have the shell of your boot deformed by a professional (bootfitter) to remove any remaining hard spots.
How to limit the sensation of cold feet?
Often overlooked, drying the liner is the most important step in keeping feet warm. Even at -10°C, the foot perspires and the liner can't dry on its own in its plastic shell, even over several days. Ideally, you should take them out every day. You can use shoe dryers, which are more practical because you don't need to take the liner out, just plug them in!
Choosing the right size is also essential, for maximum comfort.
