The BOA system optimises the fit.
The BOA system optimises the fit as it envelops the lower leg with precision and makes fastening easier.
How do you know if the boot you are trying on is the right size?
Put the boots on, close the buckles to mid-adjustment level and perform three different flexes by pressing on the shins, hands on the knees to push back on the heel. When standing upright, your toes brush against the edge of the shell. While flexing, your foot moves backwards and your toes are no longer in contact.
What is “Mondopoint” sizing?
The size of a ski boot doesn’t translate the same way as for normal shoes: we refer to “Mondopoint” sizing. This is the measurement used by almost all equipment suppliers, which simply corresponds to the size of your feet in centimetres.
What is the flex?
The flex is an indicator of rigidity: the higher its value, the stiffer the shell. A flex of 60 to 70 is considered for beginners, a flex of 70 to 100 for intermediate skiers, and beyond, the product is for advanced skiers. Heavy builds can, however, go up a level.
What should you do if you experience foot pain?
Choose a technical ski sock that’s thin so it prevents pressure points and promotes blood circulation in the foot. Choose a sole adapted to the shape of your foot to prevent it from getting crushed or bumping against the shell. Ask a sales assistant or an assistant in the shop for advice.
How do you care for and store your ski boots properly?
1 - Ventilate your boots by removing the liner.
2 - Fasten the hooks at the first notch to prevent the boots from becoming deformed (after each use) and, if possible, store them in a boot bag.
3 - Store in a cool, dry place.
