How to choose my ski gear?

Ski boots for all levels

The ski boot is an essential part of your outfit. It will be decisive in ensuring good support and comfort at the level of the foot.

The characteristics to take into account when choosing a shoe are the size, the flex and the options it offers:

• Size: The size of the ski boot is essential to make you feel comfortable in it. It is important to measure the exact length of your foot and then take a shoe that perfectly matches this length.
• Flex: It measures the stiffness of the boot, and can vary from 60 to 150. To choose the flex of a ski boot, you must take its level into account. The more experienced you are in skiing, the more rigidity you will need to allow you to have good support on your skis.
• Options: Some ski boots have an option that makes it easier for skiers to walk.

Choosing a ski boot that will adapt to your foot is essential. However, it is important to take into account your ski level when choosing your shoe, in order to best define your needs.

For a beginner to intermediate skier, rather flexible ski boots, with a low flex, amply the case. They will be light, comfortable and simple to use.

For a skier on the piste with a good level, the ideal would be to choose a shoe with a significant flex which offers you good rigidity.

Finally, if you want to improve the comfort in your ski boots, know that many brands offer a thermoformable liner. The bootie is heated so that it can adapt to the shape of your foot. Thus, this custom liner will provide you with better support when skiing.

Once the shoes have been chosen, all you have to do is select your pair of skis.
