EXPERIENCE

The FIT 980 boots have a narrow fit (100mm) and a flex of 105. They are ideal for those who want to ski fast with precision in their movement and pressure, .while the liner provides an excellent level of comfort and warmth. They are suitable for skiers with good physical fitness and good technique.

BUCKLE ADJUSTMENT

The boot is equipped with 4 extremely robust aluminium micro-metric hooks. You can adjust the length of the buckle by tightening or loosening the hook. The top hook has 3 positions for every calf size. A wide adjustment strap at the top of the upper provides powerful and easy tightening of the top of the shell.

What is FLEX?

To provide an indication of rigidity, brands assign a flex rating to every boot. This figure determines the rigidity of the boot: the higher the value the more rigid the shell. A flex of 60-70 is considered best for skiers at beginner level. A flex from 70 to 100 is for intermediate skiers. Beyond this value, the products are aimed at advanced skiers. Skiers with heavier builds, however, can go up a level.

How do you know if the boot that you are trying on is the right size?

Once your foot is in the boot, fasten the buckles to the midpoint. Can you go further? This means the volume of the boot isn't right for you. Once you've fastened your boots, you need to flex 3 times while pushing your calves forward (put your hands on your knees), which will push your heel back into the boot. Stand up: your foot should touch the end of the shell. When you flex, your foot should move backwards so you can no longer feel the end.

What should you do if you experience foot pain?

1- Choose a technical ski sock that's thin so it prevents pressure points and promotes blood circulation in the foot. 2- Choose a sole adapted to the shape of your foot to prevent it from being squashed and pressing against the shell. Ask a store assistant for advice.

How should you store your ski boots?

1- Ventilate your boots by removing the liner that is inside the plastic shell. 2- Fasten the hooks at the first notch to prevent the boots from becoming deformed and, if possible, store them in a boot bag. 3- If possible, store them in a dry place where the temperature will not drop below 10°C. The plastic on the boot will thank you!
