Ski boots Madshus
Madshus is a Norwegian ski sports equipment company based in Norway. Since the late 80s of the twentieth century, the brand has been owned by the American company K2, which is world famous among lovers of active and extreme recreation.
Brand history
The company traces its history back to 1906. The company was formed specifically for the production of wooden skis. It was at this time in the Scandinavian countries, and throughout Europe, this sport was undergoing a real boom. The company's products were very successful in their consumer qualities, so the company developed rapidly. As a result, after 20 years the first Olympic gold was won on Madshus cross-country skiing.
Progress did not stand still, and skis made of composite materials based on plastic appeared in the company's production line, and in the late twentieth century, carbon replaced plastic everywhere. At present, the company’s assortment includes all the elements of a skier’s equipment: from cross-country skiing for classic and skating to ski boots.

Let us dwell on the review of some options of the company.
Currently, one of the top models for skating is the Nano Carbon Skate. All the main elements of the boot (boot, heel, shoe) are made of carbon fiber, which gives the model not only lightness, but also a feeling of solidity, this, in turn, affects the handling of skis and the repulsion force.
An important factor in the Nano Carbon Skate device is the special shape that securely closes the ankle, which, in turn, reliably protects from typical injuries of professional skiers.
Nano Carbon Classic are cross-country ski boots for a classic run. Materials used in production also contain carbon.Classic skiing requires a fundamentally different approach to boot design. Specially designed welt gives flexibility, and the soft fabric of the boot base provides unrivaled comfort even with the most active movement.
Another classic but very successful Madshus model is Hyper RPS Boot. The design also features a composite block, a high boot, and an outsole with R3 technology. The model is designed for skating. In the manufacture of such technologies as Cordura, MemBrain - a light breathable cuff.
An indispensable attribute is the waterproof zipper of the outer part. All these technologies allowed to obtain ski models with increased stiffness and amazing stability. An important factor is the affordable price.
Madshus Hiper RPU ski boots are designed for combined skiing. Manufacturers were able to achieve a unique combination of classic and skate performance. High sensitivity of the sole is complemented by increased torsion stiffness, which provides better foot support. Good water resistance, a special valve for lacing, which contributes to better air exchange, made this option versatile and very comfortable.
The development managers of the company and young skiers did not go around. The children's line of ski boots occupies a worthy place in the model range of the company. On the market are models of both a combined type and for classic and skating. Moreover, technologies developed specifically for professional athletes have found their application in children's models. A classic example of this trend is the Madshus Super Race JR, specially designed for younger Olympians.
A distinctive feature of children's cross-country skiing models is the additional insulation of the inside with a fur coating. This allows beginners to stay outdoors longer even in frosty weather.
All of the above advantages of ski boot models have been repeatedly tested and proved not only by the high results of the starts of professional athletes, but also by ordinary lovers of an active lifestyle, skiing. And just amateurs leave a huge number of positive reviews on the Internet. When buying Madshus ski boots, you can be sure of quality that is time-tested.
