What is the flex?

To provide an indication of rigidity, brands assign a flex rating to every boot. This figure determines the rigidity of the whole boot: the higher its value, the stiffer the shell. It is generally considered that a flex of 70 is for average to intermediate level skiers. A flex from 70 to 90 is for intermediate skiers. Beyond this value, the products are aimed at advanced skiers. Well-built skiers can go up 1 level.

How do you try on ski boots?

Once your foot is in the boot, fasten the buckles to the midpoint. Can you go further? This means the volume of the boot isn't right for you. Once the boot is closed, you must flex the boots 3 times by pressing hard on the shins (put your hands on your knees to help) and push your heel backward inside the boot. Stand up: your foot should brush against the front of the shell. When you flex, your foot should move backward so you can no longer feel the end.

How to get your ski boots on easily?

Pull the tongue forward and toward the outside of the feet: this allows you to fully open up the shell and facilitates foot entry.

Suitable for freestyle

When you fit the Alpine standard soles (sold with the boots), these boots can also be used for Freestyle skiing.

How to make a ski boot more comfortable?

There are many options for making your foot more comfortable in a ski boot. A ski boot must be tight fitting. To improve the support, you can get soles that are tailored to the shape of your foot arch, volume reducers and heel boosters.

How to avoid having cold feet?

Although it is often forgotten, drying the liner is the most effective way to avoid having cold feet. Even at 14°F, the foot sweats and the liner cannot dry by itself in its plastic shell, even over several days. Ideally, you should remove it each day. There is the option to use boot dryers that are more convenient because there is no need to remove the liner, you just plug them in!
