TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
Experience
The 100 is aimed at beginner or recreational skiers looking for easiness. Its rear entry design offers unrivalled foot entry and makes it easy to adjust with its unique buckle.
It is very flexible for maximum forgiveness when learning to ski. Walking is easier thanks to the unlocking rear section offering considerable ankle extension. Generous volume for guaranteed comfort.
HOOK ADJUSTMENT
Its unique tightening buckle tightens in a few seconds compared with a classic boot that has 3 or 4 hooks and a strap.
To tighten, simply pull the tightening loop to the desired pressure.
For walking, simply release the buckle a few notches for additional ankle support.
To loosen, simply release the ratchet buckle to get a very big opening and remove the foot easily without having to bend down.
Put on/Take off
The rear entry design gives a very wide shell opening to place or remove your foot. No need to bend, force or pull on the tongue to place the foot. Fitting is just as easy in extreme cold, while classic boots are much more difficult to put on in sub-zero temperatures.
WHAT IS THE FLEX?
To provide an indication of boot rigidity, brands assign a flex rating to every boot. This figure indicates the rigidity of the boot: the higher its value, the stiffer the shell. A flex of 60 to 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. Heavy builds can, however, go up a level.
How do you know if the boot you are trying on is the right size?
With the foot in the boot, fasten the hooks to the midpoint. Can you go further? This means the volume of the boot isn't right for you. Once your boots are closed, do 3 flexes. Stand up straight: Your toes should touch the tip of the liner. When you flex, your foot should move backwards so you can no longer feel the end. Take into account that the liner foam will be compressed after a few days of skiing.
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 salesperson in store for advice.
How to store your ski boots?
1- Air your boots by removing the liner that is inside the plastic shells.
2- Fasten the buckles 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 boot's plastic will thank you for it!
How to try on ski boots?
Once the 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 the boot is closed, you must flex the boots 3 times by pressing hard on the shins (put your hands on your knees to help) and push your heel backwards inside the boot. Stand upright: 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.
How to avoid cold feet?
Although it is often forgotten, drying the liner is the most effective way to avoid having cold feet. Even at -10°C, the foot sweats and the liner cannot dry by itself in its plastic shell, even over several days. Ideally, it should be removed every day. There is the option to use boot dryers that are more convenient because there is no need to remove the liner, you just plug them in!
