Bootfitting: customised ski boots just for you
Bootfitting is the ideal solution for skiers seeking both comfort and performance. This process involves customising your ski boots to fit the unique shape of your feet. The benefits are numerous: improved power transfer, reduced pressure points and an overall enhanced experience on the slopes.
The first step is analysing the shape of your feet using specialised equipment and discussing your specific needs. Then, various components of the boot are adjusted to create a truly bespoke fit. It’s even possible to customise the insole, liner, and boot shell for each foot, tailoring them precisely to your anatomy.
