Fischer ski boots

In sport there are no trifles. This fully applies to the choice of ski boots. After all, no matter how professional a skier may be, improperly selected shoes for skiing can turn the process from pleasant to painful, and the result of such a race will be disastrous.

The history of the world-famous brand began in the usual barn of the Austrian city of Reed. It was there that in 1924 handyman Joseph Fischer Senior solved the problem of self-employment, starting to make trolleys and sleds, and after a year - skiing.

After 10 years, there was not enough space in the barn - Fisher's company numbered more than 30 people, and handmade skis were bought up like hot cakes. In 1949, Fischer developed the first hand press and optimized production and molding, and in 64, a ski factory was opened. At the same time, at the Winter Olympics on the products of Fischer, Egon Zimmerman comes to victory.

In 1971, the Fischer family (and by then it was already a family business) began to produce cross-country skiing. There is a constant search for new technologies and materials. And this is the secret to Fisher’s success. At the beginning of the “noughties”, production of alpine skis, and to them alpine ski boots, is being established.

In 2006, Fisher introduced Carbonlite - the lightest racing skis in the world (their weight is less than a kilogram), and in 2011, thanks to the new VACUUM FIT technology, for the first time in the history of sports, it became possible to fully adapt the ski boot on the athlete’s foot.

Getting to the selection of boots for skiing, you need to know the basis of the principle of selection of equipment. It depends on the style of riding - classic or skating. Boots differ and the fastening system - NNN, SNS. Shoes are divided into three types. Classic, skate and combi.

• Classic ski boots. Light, soft.

• Skate shoes. High, with a hinged system for additional ski control.

• Combi Combine the advantages of the two previous varieties. The softness of the soles from the "Classics" and height, as well as a removable hinge, from the "Combi".

“Fischer” understands well that the level of training of skiers is different, and therefore it produces something individual for each category: athletes - Fischer RC 3 classic, Fischer RCS Carbonlite Skating. Skating Skiers - Fischer RC3 Scate. Fischer combi, as the name suggests, for combined skating.

Ski boots should be comfortable, light and protect the skier well from getting wet and undercooling. When deciding on the size, you should not rely on the fact that under the boot you will wear thick woolen socks. Need socks specifically designed for skiing. They are sewn from breathable wear-resistant fabric.

Therefore, before choosing ski boots, you should first purchase such socks. You can do this at any sports store. Trying on the boot then can be done immediately on the toe. It is very important that the ski boots are "not stingy", not rubbed and not large.

It is also worth considering that during active sports, the amount of circulating blood in the body increases, more blood enters the arms and legs, and they add a little in volume. Experts advise buying ski boots half the size of the required.

When choosing shoes for a child, the “half size more” rule applies in 100% of cases. To models for future champions of all sizes, the manufacturer comes with additional insoles. This is done so that the child can first ride with two insoles, and then, when the leg grows up, one is taken out.

For Fisher ski boots in sports stores you can always buy branded bags, backpacks. Pouches for flasks with water. And just a giant assortment of covers. Backpacks, bags and pouches are made of high-quality and waterproof polyester, most models have reflective elements that allow the skier to feel safe even in twilight, in the dark and with limited visibility.

Numerous reviews of Fisher ski boots can be found on the Internet almost everywhere - on the review sites and on specialized forums of athletes - skiers. For the most part, they are not just positive, but enthusiastic. Those who once tried skating at Fisher already, as a rule, do not change the brand.

Among the advantages, it is noted that the "Fisher" boots are anatomically correct, tight and comfortable, "sit" on the foot. "As you stand on the pavement." This is how those who first went skiing in Fisher boots describe their feelings.

Experienced athletes note that it is not cold in these shoes, the legs do not get tired even after a long workout or a long distance. In general, there are entire communities of professional Fisher ski ammunition testers on the Internet, and each new ski or boot model is closely monitored under real conditions. Such tests are carried out by specialized sports publications and large networks of sports stores.

Among the various reviews, the theme of the cost of Fisher boots is a red thread. Someone considers it high, someone affordable, but all, without exception, are in solidarity - “Fisher” is worth it. So how much do they cost?

The initial price for the most inexpensive “Combi” models starts from 5500 rubles. In the same price segment fall and female "My Style" - from 6000 rubles. More expensive (though slightly) models for the classic style of skiing. Fischer RC3 Classic S10313 "starts" from 7000 rubles. The more professional the boot, the more expensive it is. So the “half-profile" Fischer RC5 Skate S15415 cost from 11 thousand rubles. And the innovative Fischer RCS Carbonlite Skating - at least 19 thousand rubles.

The most expensive are ski boots. Their cost starts from 13,000 rubles and reaches 50,000 rubles. It all depends on the level of training of the skier and the level of his expectations from the ammunition.

• Fisher boots are made with people in mind. The pad is always anatomical, providing maximum stability. The foot is fixed, and this allows you to more confidently deal with skis.
• Each model provides for “spotters” - additional clips - Velcro and lacing. This is in case of small misses with size. They will provide an almost perfect "fit" of the foot.
• The sole of the Fisher ski boots is innovative. The degree of stiffness is always indicated on the box. The sole is durable, elastic.
• All Fisher boots (including ski boots) are two-layer. The top layer - water-repellent and heat-protective, the inner one - takes the form of your foot for added convenience.

According to experienced skiers, sometimes "fail" mounts. This usually happens after a couple of months of intense workout. However, the manufacturer also foresaw this, yet it doesn’t do silk for young ladies, but goods for people winning in extreme conditions, and all Fisher dealers have an excellent guarantee exchange system.

Ski boots cannot be worn on a tight woolen toe.

The main thing in caring for ski boots is to dry them properly. Drying should be carried out carefully, 2-3 times a week, the inner layer (removable boot) must be removed and dried separately. You can use electric dryers. The insole is recommended to be treated with an antifungal composition.

But to form and adjust the ski boot, although it is possible independently, but it is better for specialists. Workshops are involved in thermoforming.

If the ski boots are chosen correctly, you take care of them and take care of them, they will bring you joy for a long time from the happy minutes spent skiing somewhere in a snowy forest or on an alpine slope.
