Wedze FR900, Flex 100 Backcountry Ski Boots, Women's

Fine foot (last 100 mm), light liner: Lightweight and comfortable liner without heat-molding. Preformed foam on the malleolus. Liners are designed to optimize ski sensations and optimize the weight and freedom of movement when descending. Heat-molding liner for superior comfort. Shock Absorber Area system in the heel for cushioning the shocks on bumps or jumps.

To provide an indication of boot rigidity, brands assign a flex rating to every boot. This figure determines the rigidity of the whole boot: the higher its value, the stiffer the shell. It is generally considered that a flex of 70 is for average to intermediate level skiers. A flex from 70 to 90 is for intermediate skiers. Beyond this value, the products are aimed at advanced skiers. Well-built skiers can go up 1 level.

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 backward so you can no longer feel the end.

Pull the tongue forward and toward the outside of the feet: this allows you to fully open up the shell and facilitates foot entry.

There are many ways of optimizing foot comfort in a ski boot. A ski boot must be tight-fitting. To improve the support, you can get soles that are tailored to the shape of your foot arch, volume reducers and heel boosters.

Although it is often forgotten, drying the liner is the most effective way to avoid having cold feet. Even by 14°F, the foot sweats and the liner cannot dry by itself in a plastic shell, even over several days. Ideally, you should remove it each 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!
