Ski boots

If you like riding on mountain slopes , you know that ski boots are one of the most important components of equipment. If you skate in inappropriate shoes, then about delight and satisfaction of speech can not be. In addition, the boots are a protection for the female legs, because the pain inevitably occurs if the women's ski boots are picked up incorrectly.

Types of ski boots

Before you choose high-quality ski boots, you should know that this shoe is itself. At first glance, everything is extremely simple, but in reality it is rather difficult to choose ski boots, as practice shows. The fact is that the classic ski boots resemble a nut. Outside, this is a solid "shell" made of plastic, and inside it is a comfortable soft-fitting boot . Obviously, plastic is a guarantee of rigidity and durability, and a boot provides convenience. Modern manufacturers of ski equipment produces dozens of types of ski boots, but they all belong to two groups. The criteria are the comfort, accuracy and speed of the transfer of effort to the ski. The first group includes bots for beginners and children. They are called shoes for "dummies". These models are considered to be the simplest and are relatively inexpensive. They can ride at a low speed with an ideal quality of cover. Boots for beginners are very soft and comfortable, so they are in demand. The second group, called "classics" - is ski boots for experienced athletes. They are quite tough, but accurately convey the effort to the ski. When riding at high speed on steep slopes this is of paramount importance. If a newcomer shoes such shoes, then the desire to ride can disappear forever. The leg is not bent in such shoes, there is a strong squeezing on the rise, and it's very difficult to get up without help from falling. In addition, they are very heavy, so newcomers do not fit categorically.

Criterias of choice

In the first place when choosing bots is their rigidity. As already mentioned, in shoes for beginners, this indicator should be minimal. The higher the level of your skill in skating, the tougher shoes should be. Next, you should pay attention to the presence of a variety of adjustments, allowing you to comfortably fit your shoes on your foot. Most models are equipped with clips. These devices are needed for reliable fixation of the foot and shin. The clip can be from one to four. For inexperienced skiers there are models with a reclining back, which at times simplifies the process of putting on and taking off shoes. Adjustment of the tightness of the fitting of the shoe to the foot can be carried out with the help of screws built into the shoes. When tightening the screw, the foot is pressed against the boot with a special tape. If the mounts for ski boots of the first group are adjusted with teeth, then in professional shoes this is done with a micrometer screw.

Often, girls without skiing experience choose ski suits with shoes, focusing on their design, after all, and on the mountain slopes you want to look perfect. This option is acceptable if the legs have an ideal shape. But if the legs are O-shaped or X-shaped, then riding in standard equipment will not bring pleasure. In this case, the boots should be with canting, that is, with the adjustment of the bootleg. Excellent, if the shoe has a switch mode "skating-walking." It is much easier to stand on a lift or to go to a cafe on top of a mountain if the outer boot boot is weakened.

As for the inner boot, in modern models it is made of a material with "memory". Shoes shoe, after a few seconds you will feel how the material is crushed under the pressure of the protruding parts of the foot, and the gaps are filled.
