HOW TO CHOOSE THE SKI BOOTS

There is no absolute best brand or model, but there is the best product for you. If someone recommends a certain boot, you risk buying a product that is good for him, but not perfect for your foot.

Buy or rent the exact boot size for your foot: unfortunately the habit of choosing an extra size is common, for more comfort. Nothing more wrong!

The measurement system used by companies is the point world (mp), which corresponds to measuring the foot in centimeters and finding the right product. Putting the foot in a larger shape is a mistake: the boot is designed with precise points of support, the so-called critical points, and if you choose a wrong size they will not be adequate for the anatomy of the foot.

Once the shoe is on, often the first feeling is that it is too small. Do not ask for an extra measure, but close the levers starting from the tip and do some bending forward.

Standing in an upright position, the toes must slightly touch the tip of the boot, while flexing the knees and resting the weight on the shins, the foot moves back slightly allowing the toes to move.

Your foot must therefore be evenly and fairly firmly bandaged, without however painful compressions. On the contrary, if the shoe is not comfortable (remember that with the use the inner shoe tends to give way) and especially if during the bending phase the heel rises, it means that youare buying a too large boot, compromising your safety while skiing .

On the occasion of the boot test, remember to bring the socks with which you usually ski: it will facilitate your choice.
