Boots

Alpine ski boots hold the skier’s feet firmly in position for quick and precise ski control. Xsports represents one of the world’s most popular and recognised ski boot manufacturers – Lange. When choosing the right boots, assess your skiing ability and consider your skiing style and ski type. Ski boots differ in stiffness (flex index). Softer boots are more suitable for beginners, while more experienced and professional skiers need stiffer boots for the most precise and responsive ski control possible. Another significant difference is the inner boot width, which makes boots comfortable for different foot types. Slalom boots are divided into men’s, women’s and junior boots. Women’s alpine ski boots differ from men’s boots in having a higher heel area and lower weight. Children’s boots stand out for their low weight, while junior racing boots are available with inner boot widths specifically suited to athletes. A detail to pay attention to is the boot buckles. Most buckles are made of aluminium and have micro adjustment for more precise tightening. For comfortable, well-fitting boots, choose the right size: the boot must not be too tight, but carelessly leaving too much spare space can cause problems later when skiing. Feel free to ask the experienced Xsports team for advice, and we will help you find the boots best suited to your wishes and goals!
