EXPERIENCE
This boot is ideal for the expert skier looking for the right mix of performance, comfort and precision. The 900 Evofit features a PU shell for a progressive and constant 110 flex in all temperatures. The liner's Overlap system ("wallet" shape) provides excellent support transmission and ease of fitting.
The Evofit liner provides optimum comfort, which can be enhanced by thermoforming the entire liner!
HOOK ADJUSTMENT
This shoe features 4 aluminum micro-metric hooks. You can adjust the length of the buckle by screwing or unscrewing the hook. The top hook has 3 positions (tool-free adjustment) to suit all calves. A wide adjustment strap at the top of the stem provides a very powerful tightening.
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.
How do you know if the shoe you're trying on is the right size?
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 against the shell. Ask a sales clerk for advice.
3- If, after two days on the slopes, you still feel uncomfortable, thermoform your boot.
Is my liner thermoformable, and what is the purpose of thermoforming?
The EVOFIT liner is made from 100% thermoformable foams, which can heat up to take on the shape of your feet and the shell of the shoe. This enhances foot-insole-shell compatibility, reducing discomfort points.
How do I thermoform my bootie at home?
1- Preheat the oven to 80°C with fan assisted heat.
2- Remove the slippers from the shells.
3- Remove the insoles from the slippers.
4- Put the slippers in the oven for only 10 minutes.
5- Remove the slippers from the oven.
6- Put the insoles back inside the booties.
7- Put the booties back in the boots.
8- Put on the boots and lock each hook moderately.
9- Wait 15 minutes at room temperature before taking off your boots.
Now you're ready to ski!
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!
