3D The Ski Boots
Trying on Selected Boots [ read more ]
Our range selection and buying process is an exhaustive one,
taking many months of painstaking testing to assess boots for shape, features, design configuration, flex and
range suitability. Our aim is to ensure we have boots that cover all ability levels and fit requirements from
high arched feet to narrow low volume feet. We carry various PU foam liner options for people with difficult,
narrow feet or those seeking the best precision and control. You choose!
A choice of several boots will be determined relative to foot shape,
skiing performance level, future skiing goals and personal body type. Some time will be spent discussing the
benefits and examining the fit feeling each boot provides.

Boot Customisation [ read more ]
Stretching the boot shell
Since every foot is unique in shape, volume and flexibility we normally
stretch the plastics of about 80% of boots fitted. This ensures an excellent match of shell profile to the shape of
your foot. These subtle adjustments are crucial to ensure a great fit while skiing as the foot is very sensitive and
millimeter adjustments can mean the difference between comfort and pain. Our boot press applies huge loads from inside
and outside the boot to create a much more effective and permanent stretch than conventional stretchers.
It is the extra step we take to ensure your skiing comfort.
Custom foam liners
Alternatively liner materials maybe adapted or bespoke foam liners utilized for a precision fit. Adjustments to liners
can be made with addition or removal of materials to achieve maximum comfort and performance fitting.
Boot Alignment [ read more ]
Ever wondered why your skis don't run flat and true? Canting is often the
key to solving this problem. Using our pressure mapping platform and canting evaluators we can assess whether you are
predominately positive outside or inside edge. Our technology platform makes this normally very difficult process speedy
and exceptionally accurate. From there we can make adjustments to the cuff of the boots to align lower leg with the ski boot.
Bearing in mind a majority of 'alignment' problems stem from over-tight muscles and muscle imbalance; this affects where
your balance is under your feet and can account for faster than normal muscle fatigue and over-exertion to produce the
required turn. Dominant muscles have a habit of pulling the joints and especially the hips and knees out of ideal alignment.
The importance of having balanced muscle groups can not be stressed enough. A combination of strengthening and stretching
will be given to help with tight or weak muscle groups. High heels and office jobs are too often the major offenders!
If you have ever wondered why you ski in the back seat, or ski with an A-frame, fight your skis in and
out of turns and why your ski instructor is always trying to correct you - it is most often not your technique but
faulty biomechanics.
