Children's ski boots

You are going to go skiing and decided this time to take your baby with you. He will be skiing for the first time. How to choose ski boots for him?

Probably, many parents faced this problem. Is it possible to take shoes for growth, is it worth buying them at all, or is it better to take them from someone?

We will tell you what the peculiarity of children's shoes is, how to choose the right size, which brands sew such shoes.

A children's foot is only being formed, so you need to buy good quality shoes so that there are no problems with legs in the future. Now many manufacturers of adult sports equipment also produce a children's collection. As a rule, both skis and boots. But since making a quality product is not an easy task, and brands value their reputation, some companies only make ski boots, without releasing skis.

In Europe, children from two years old are often put on skis. We have, as a rule, from an older age - from 5-7 years. A little skier needs the simplest boots. They are soft, warm, like felt boots, fasten with one clip. When the child grows up and is already firmly skiing, you can already take harder shoes for him. That is, you need to start with a stiffness of 10, and then, as you grow older, go to a stiffness of 70 to 100 in adolescence.

If you decide to ski a teenager who has never stood on them, buy him new ski boots. It may even turn out that you have old shoes - adults and old-fashioned. No, this is not an option for a teenager, even if you have the same size, for example, with your mother’s leg. The teenager’s leg is already, the female foot has its own characteristics, manufacturers take this into account when manufacturing.For example, the boot for women’s boots is wider, the fasteners are located in other places than men's shoes.

For kids, they produce the simplest ski boots, but they look like adults. They have an outer and inner boot. The inner is soft, it is taken out. Outside there is one single clasp, it is called a clip.

Why one clip? After all, adults also have clips on their feet. A small child still has fragile bones and ligaments, therefore, in order not to pull the leg again, one clip is used. She holds the shoe securely on her foot without injuring her.

The clasp has a latch. It is needed so that the clip does not unfasten when moving. After all, then the child’s leg will simply fall out of the boot while moving. This is dangerous.

The sole of children's ski boots is designed for walking on snow and skiing. This is a feature of children's shoes. For professional athletes, for example, they produce boots only for skiing, you can’t walk in the snow in them.

Children's shoes are always very warm. And they are light and durable at the same time. It would be difficult for a little man to wear heavy boots, agree. Therefore, manufacturers tried and invented durable and lightweight models at the same time.

So, we hope that we have convinced you that for kids and teenagers you should immediately buy high-quality shoes.

Now it is important to determine the size of the baby’s legs. This is done simply. You can take a sheet of paper at home, put a child’s leg on it and circle it with a pencil. Or already in the store. So, as a rule, there are special patterns for measurement. But it is better, in our opinion, to prepare in advance and without rushing at home. The length from the thumb to the heel is the size of your child’s legs. But the shoes should be taken 1.5-2 cm more.

Measure the shoes in the store on a thin sock. Do not put the baby on top of it and still warm wool, this is useless. Why? Wool absorbs moisture, holds it for a long time. In a wet sock, the child freezes faster. It is enough for the shoes of one thin socks. The boots themselves are warm.

After you put on your baby’s shoes, ask if they’re squeezing where, if not tight. Sometimes kids can’t appreciate how they feel in the boot, so there’s a way to understand it.

Take out the inner boot and put on the child. Now look if there is a margin in it from the heel and toe. There should be a margin of about a centimeter on both sides. That is, a centimeter from the side of the toe and a centimeter from the side of the heel.

Socks for ski boots should be high, higher than boots. Buy your child special socks. They are synthetic, but very reliable. The child will not rub the lower leg because they are tall. And they perfectly remove moisture than cotton and wool. Forget about them at all when you put ski boots on your child.
