TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
Experience
Benefiting from Salomon's extensive expertise in boot design and a narrower fit that instantly adapts to the shape of the foot, this is a reliable, high performance no-nonsense model. The Autostretch liner perfectly conforms to the specific shape of the foot, while the geometry of the shell keeps the transfer of weight consistent in every turn.
Hook adjustment
This boot comes with 4 micro-metric solid aluminium buckles. You can adjust the buckle length by screwing or unscrewing the buckle. The top buckle has 3 positions to fit all calf sizes. A wide, adjustable strap at the top of the upper makes for strong and easy closure at the top of the shell.
What is FLEX?
To provide an indication of boot rigidity, brands assign a flex rating to every boot. This figure indicates the rigidity of the boot: the higher its value, the stiffer the shell. A flex of 60 to 70 is considered best for skiers at beginner level. A flex from 70 to 100 is for intermediate skiers. Beyond this value, the products are aimed at advanced skiers. Heavy builds can, however, go up a level.
What's my shoe size?
The size of ski boots is stated in Mondopoint size. It’s actually the length of the foot in cm.
Wedge your heels along a wall, slide a sheet of paper underneath, flex and measure the longest foot.
For example, if your foot measures 27.2 cm, you should choose size 27/27.5.
A size 27 shoe is exactly the same as a 27.5
How do you know if the boot you are trying on is the right size?
Once the 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 backwards inside the boot. Stand upright: your foot should touch the end of the shell. When you flex, your foot should move backwards so you can no longer feel the end.
What should you do if you experience foot pain?
1- Choose a technical ski sock that's thin so it prevents pressure points and promotes blood circulation in the foot.
2- Choose a sole adapted to the shape of your foot to prevent it from being squashed and pressing against the shell. Ask a salesperson in store for advice.
Is my liner thermoformable, and what use is thermoforming?
The liner (My Instantfit Sport Autostretch) of the Salomon SELECT 100 boot is thermoformable at the ankles, ankle bone and heel. This means that the foam of the liner can heat up to fit to the shape of your feet and the shell of the boot. This improves foot/liner/shell compatibility and reduces areas of discomfort.
How to store your ski boots?
1- Air your boots by removing the liner that is inside the plastic shells.
2- Fasten the buckles at the first notch to prevent the boots from becoming deformed and, if possible, store them in a boot bag.
3- If possible, store them in a dry place where the temperature will not drop below 10°C. The boot's plastic will thank you for it!
