Your way to the perfect racingboot
Would you like a ski boot that is precisely tailored to your needs? Congratulations: to the individually adapted racing model. The ski boot is the important link between the rider and the slope. That's why no compromises should be made. It's all about the perfect fit, good performance and comfort. These steps are important to get the perfectly fitting ski boot.
1. Choosing the right model
Racing boots are selected based on various factors. Racers often prefer a tight fit that ensures that every movement impulse is transferred directly to the ski.
When choosing the right last width, it is important that the foot is well fixed and that there is no unwanted movement in the boot. A correct choice of last shape, precise sizing and, if necessary, adjustment of the shell are crucial.
2. Shell adjustment
Racing ski boots have a thicker, hard shell made of robust material that is adapted to the rider's foot by heating, milling or grinding. This adaptation process is carried out in our specialist shop by boot fitting experts and ensures that the shell takes on the exact shape of the foot. This not only improves comfort, but also optimises power transmission.
3. Inliner adjustment
The inner shoe, also called liner, plays a crucial role in the adjustment of racing ski boots.
Foamed or thermoformable inner shoes are particularly advantageous here, as they are individually shaped to fit the racer's foot. This customization ensures a perfect fit that avoids pressure points and blisters and improves control.
4. Customization
Racing ski boots offer numerous options for fine adjustment that can be individually adapted to the needs of the skier:
• Buckles and boosters: These should be adjusted so that the foot sits firmly in the boot without affecting blood flow. Precise adjustment of the buckles is essential to achieve an optimal fit.
• Canting: This adjustment affects the angle of the ski boot to the ski surface, compensates for foot or leg axis misalignments and relieves the strain on the supporting structure.
5. Testing and fine-tuning
After the first fitting, it is important to test the ski boots intensively. Racers should complete several training runs to determine if further adjustments are necessary.
Often several fine-tunings are necessary to achieve the perfect fit. The inspection and adjustment by our boot fitting experts are important to guarantee the highest level of fit and performance.
The fitting of racing ski boots requires a high degree of precision and expertise. Every step, from sizing to shell and liner adjustment to fine-tuning, is crucial for maximum performance on the slopes. Through careful and professional fitting, racers can optimise their performance and exploit the full potential of their ski equipment.
