EXPERIENCE
A boot that combines performance and pleasure, for experienced skiers looking to progress.
Its last of 100 is generous enough to provide comfort while maintaining efficient support transfers. With a flex of 100, it's a good balance between responsiveness and comfort.
Hook adjustment
This shoe is equipped with 4 strong aluminum buckles + micro-metric hooks. You can adjust the length of the buckle by screwing or unscrewing the hook.
A wide adjustment strap at the top of the upper allows 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 is considered suitable for beginners. A flex of 70 to 90 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 actually the length of the foot in cm.
Wedge 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.
The shell of a size 27 boot is exactly the same as a 27.5 boot, only the liner wedge differs.
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.
