Your way to the perfect racingboot
Racing ski boots are not ordinary ski boots. Every adjustment, every millimeter, and every component affects power transfer, edge pressure, and turning performance. At Sport Brugger in Sölden, we craft racing boots that perfectly match your foot shape, skiing style, and technique. Whether it’s slalom, giant slalom, or speed disciplines – we provide precision from the initial selection to the final fine-tuning. The ski boot is the crucial link between skier and slope. That’s why no compromises can be made. Perfect fit, high performance, and comfort are essential, and the following steps are necessary to achieve this.
Model selection and shell adjustment
The right model is selected based on foot shape, last width, and body weight. Next, the shell is precisely adjusted: it can be milled, stretched, or molded to prevent pressure points and optimize the fit. If necessary, we also adjust the length so that the boot volume matches your foot shape and power transfer to the ski is optimal. Every modification ensures maximum contact, control, and precision.
Footbed & Inliner Adjustment
Custom-made insoles form the foundation for stability and precise support. They adapt perfectly to the shape of the foot, distribute pressure evenly, and ensure that every movement is transferred to the ski in a controlled manner. This creates a precise interaction between foot and ski, significantly enhancing performance.
Adjusting the inner boot complements the work of the footbed. Depending on the application, Thermoliners are used for even pressure distribution, molded racing inner boots for maximum precision, or Zipfit inner boots for individually adjustable support. These adjustments ensure that the inner boot fits perfectly with both foot and footbed, providing comfort, control, and top-level skiing performance.
Racing Adjustment
The third step focuses on fine-tuning, which makes all the difference in the racing environment. Even the smallest adjustments affect edge pressure, balance, and turn initiation – and directly impact performance on the slope.
An important component is cuff alignment. Here, the ski boot cuff is aligned precisely with the leg axis. This adjustment ensures that pressure is evenly distributed, balance is maintained, and turns can be executed cleanly and controlled.
Equally crucial is canting. In this step, the boot is adjusted to the natural alignment of the leg and foot to achieve perfect edge control. This precise tuning ensures optimal power transfer to the ski, and each racing boot is individually tailored to the skier, guaranteeing maximum control 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.

Expert tip – made-to-measure ski shoes
Georg Brugger
When it comes to bootfitting for race ski boots, the focus is on precision and direct power transmission. The ski boot is closely adapted to the shape of the foot to ensure maximum control. Race ski boots often have a stiffer shell, which is individually adjusted during bootfitting by targeted grinding or milling to avoid pressure points.
A custom-made footbed is also particularly important, as it enhances stability and responsiveness. For optimal fit and performance, it’s recommended to have the bootfitting done by an experienced expert specialized in racing equipment.
At Sport Brugger in Sölden, boot fitting is all about ski boots that are perfectly tailored to your needs.
