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 figure, the stiffer the shell. A flex of 50 to 70 is suitable for intermediate to advanced skiers. A flex level of 70 to 90 is intended for advanced skiers. From this level up, the products are intended for experts. The large sizes can be increased by one level.
How do you try on ski boots?
Once your foot is in the boot, you need to fasten the buckles up half-way. If you need to fasten the buckles any tighter, this means that the boot is the wrong size. Once you've fastened the boot, you need to flex 3 times, pushing your calves forward, (put your hands on your knees to help you) which will push your heel back into the boot. When you stand upright, your foot should touch the end of the shell; when you flex, your foot moves backwards so you can no longer feel the end.
