Construction
Designed for skiers looking for performance, but without the constraints of a boot, the Rossignol Vizion 4B Pro 80 MV ski boots feature Step IN technology, which allows the boot to open wide for easy entry. The double buckle allows easy opening of the boot and a resting position.
Dualcore technology reinforces the lower shell.
Hook settings
The 3rd loop is constructed in 2 parts. Open the buckle, and it releases the arm and collar with a cable
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 24.2cm long, you should choose size 24/24.5.
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 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 not likely to drop below 10°C.
