How to choose the size?
Girls, if you are going even for the first time to the mountain slopes, buy shoes for yourself, do not take from friends and acquaintances. Remember that if the size and stiffness are incorrectly selected, this can lead not only to corns (this is the smallest of evils), but also to the formation of cones, deformation of the feet.
So, shoes must be chosen according to two parameters: stiffness and size. Stiffness can be from 15 to 160 units. Hard shoes are exclusively for professionals, do not take them to beginners. Beginners should choose shoes from 15 to 60 units. They sit perfectly on the foot, have good cushioning.
Rigid boots are suitable exclusively for professionals, because even the smallest of your movement is immediately transmitted to the skis. In fact, the boots are designed to control skis. Therefore, if you are still a beginner, you simply can not cope with hard boots.
Women's ski boots have a hidden heel. Yes Yes. During movement, a woman on skis presses her toe. So it’s easier to regulate skis only for girls, because they are accustomed to heels, be they high or medium.
Pay attention when choosing shoes on the buckles on them. It is better to take with metal fasteners, as plastic can crack in cold or shock.
An important rule: shoes should be taken in size - neither more nor less.In sports stores there is a special meter for proper sizing. Be sure to use it.
When you will try on shoes, walk in them, squat, bow down. And do it for a few minutes, take your time. If you feel the slightest discomfort, do not take them.
