HOW TO BUY SKI BOOTS

today we're going to talk about ski boots and how to buy the right ski boot for you we divide this video into three parts for who and what fit and flex for who and what part you should ask yourself like who am I like how heavy am I and how good skier am I really and how much does ski for what am I going to use the ski boot am I gonna be skiing like Park then a boot like this could be a good idea Park boots are generally straighter and they sometimes have some dampening on the foot but I would say it's absolutely not necessary to have a partial boot to right Park I myself I ride a boot like this that's inspired by race boots because I like the extra control I get and it's pretty stiff but I do miss their dampening that you can get in some freestyle boots and a third kind of boot that we are not gonna look so much into our touring boots they're lightweight and they often have cool tech like walk modes so if you buy one of these I wouldn't recommend you to bring it in the park and hit some big jumps because if you break the walk mode they're very expensive so you don't wanna waste their money so for the fit part and for the Flex spot we're gonna bring in an expert on cloudy here at the sport bit yeah before you start trying some ski boots you will need to bring some ski socks they often have some but I find it a little yeah q-tip or a lot of people ski socks that's me okay you can stand up please all right why am i standing up the feed comes a little bit bigger and you can lean a little forward and we can see the positions of your ankle what's I still have 42 it's around 27 centimeters yeah basically I've been skiing with something like this right now I squeeze a ski quite aggressively and some pork but I managed to break it a little bit here in the plastic actually do you have something similar but different I could fit for me yeah quick little storage all right you need to go to storage all right I got two boots there that he thinks may fit my feet after measuring them why are we doing this and you can send up then I can see how is your size thank you how did you like the length of that this looks good when I measure your feet I can see the size and how wide it is and it depends from the type of the boot they give you the second one and you're a good skier you can touch a little bit in the front when you're more beginner you need a little bit more space now you can walk around a little bit walking it's not quite like skiing but just give a feeling for flexing them and I think one good tip is without her you should use the ski boots or try them out at the end of the day then your feet have swollen and they are more the size they're gonna be able to skiing them in the morning you know they're not they're a bit smaller than feet Hey they feel pretty good what I do feel is here on the side of the foot I can decide that the little toe yeah and that's been a problem area all my life there's probably a little bit too white that can you bring another model they're a little bit wider in the front yeah that's this model coming up slightly wider yeah it gonna be happy to try that okay thank you sir is it like he but you're gonna get the first food to try on no never you have to try the fu ski boots I shall cloud you told me before so in the film they you should tell the customers that they need about an hour to test out the right ski boots here inside we have 20 degrees plastic true is quite soft when we're outside with minus degrees and the boot is stiffer so they flex it is difficult 120 and another hundred twenty is not the same but if you never heard about these weight numbers to give you an idea of that like 50s children's boots 7200 a lightweight adult maybe not so experienced 170 and 30 a little heavier a little bit more experienced skier 130 and up like ski racers and badass free riders and freestyle skiers what determines what flex you should have any ski boot it's your weight and how hard you will want to ski or can ski jean-claude has done a good job of only tried three or four boots now three or four if I'd go in here alone on product choice 7 or 10 and I'm pretty stoked with this once and it looked like like doorway that kind of stuff Darth Vader yeah like that guy but the last thing to have in mind when you get ski boots and it's not just a sales gimmick it's the insoles or as it called bed sole sole birds the foot baths this is the foot bed over 550 Franco almost 500 euro ski boot there's no support anywhere I made some custom in source it is put the other day and I've skied in them for three or four days now and it's it's good I really like it I had some that were like had some arch support and heel like an I feel Cup but there were not custom so they were like painful for two or three weeks to use well these ones ones were custom we were comfortable from day one worth it like 80 to 120 bucks for custom ones part support not custom 30 to 70 bucks or so thanks man what I find interesting with booth fitting is that it looks really easy you know you get some booty chart and it feels good and probably you're not gonna have a problem but the cool thing if you do have a problem the boot fitters can do some pretty amazing things with your boots with customizing them adjusting angles they can do so much and if you use a boot fitter you know on the first go and not the internet yeah you're probably going to save someone on doing that actually cuz you know if you get it wrong and then have to spend a hundred bucks on fitting them because of the problem you have yeah so don't buy for brand or pro model or that kind of stuff right get boots of fit here thanks again see you in the next video [Music]
