Ski boots Salomon

Salomon was founded in 1947 in France by the Salomon family. Initially, the company was engaged in the production of saws and building accessories. Then the range of products began to expand, and in 1948 the first ski bindings called “Meil carres” came out.

This product became decisive in choosing the direction of the company, because it became so popular that it diverged under the order and became known not only in France, but also in Switzerland, Austria and the USA.

In 1952, the latest cable mount was invented. Further, the company upgraded its products, which in 1979 led to the release of the first ski boots, and 1980 was the year of the first skiing.

Another popular work of art from the Salomon brand. Their features:

• reduced wear on shoes;
• compactness;
• simplicity in operation. They are easy to take off and put on;
• simple adjustment.

The correct choice of boots guarantees the athlete comfort while skiing. Therefore, this stage is best approached with all responsibility.

• So, the first thing you need to focus on is the dimensional grid. Any self-respecting seller will provide the buyer with a section of the parameters of the necessary goods with all sizes.
• Ski boots should sit tightly on their feet, just like any other sports shoes. If the shoes sit on their feet freely, then more effort will be required to control a sports apparatus than is necessary.

• The second point worth paying attention to is rigidity. Depending on the weight and height of the athlete, the stiffness of the boot also varies. The more weight or height, the stiffer the boot. When trying on before buying, it is not necessary to forget that when warm, the shoes will appear softer than at low temperatures.

It is worth noting that soft boots are comfortable, while hard ones give complete control over speed and maneuvers. Therefore, depending on the needs of the buyer, it is worth choosing one form or another of rigidity.

• The next item is the block. Width of this attribute of boots varies from 92 to 108 mm. The smaller the boot size, the smaller this width. The declared width of the pads may differ from the actual, so the most important thing is that you always need to measure the shoes.

There are shoes in which this indicator can be changed mechanically or in any other way, for example, using a soft insert. In ski boots, the width of the pads is minimal for good foot fixation.

• Do not forget about the belt. The width of this attribute is in the range from 25 to 65mm. The belt looks like a strep or booster, and the wider it is, the more reliably the calf will be fixed.

• The inside. It can be either fully thermoformed or partially. It is necessary for cushioning and planting flexibility. However, this innovation dulls the feeling of skiing.

• Insulation. The inner core material is the basis for maintaining heat. The thicker such material, the warmer the leg. However, in ski boots such material is reduced to a minimum thickness.

Material such as fluff and wool is used to preserve heat. But you need to remember that you can not wear cotton or wool socks for ski boots. The legs in these socks will simply freeze, as wool and cotton do not work well with moisture. Low socks are also highly discouraged to wear with ski boots, as they can rub the lower leg area.

One of the reasons for freezing your legs may be pulling puffs. From this, the vessels do not provide the limbs with the necessary blood flow, and the legs freeze.

Improper stance can also cause limbs to freeze. Pressure with a direct stance is increased, so the vessels are strongly compressed, which also leads to impaired blood circulation.

Following a few rules can extend the life of ski boots. Here are the main details on how to properly care for sports shoes:

• after the walk, it is necessary to wash the boots from snow and dirt and dry the inside of the boots;
• For washing shoes, use only soap with warm water. Do not use gasoline and other chemically active substances;
• It is strictly forbidden to wash the inside of the shoes. To eliminate unpleasant odors, it is necessary to use special products offered by the network of sports stores;
• it is forbidden to dry shoes on devices that generate heat. The plastic part may become deformed, and everything inside the boot may come loose.

There are quite a few shoe collections that Salomon offers. Consider one of the collections that has earned special customer confidence. This year’s bestseller is the X PRO 120 BLACK / PETROL BLUE ski boot model.

Here are its features:

• excellent energy transfer. This is achieved due to the working properties of the polymers, which are located in the rear region of the shaft and on the sole;
• convenience. The upper area of ​​the boot is made of polyurethane, which contributes to the exact fit of the leg;
• the possibility of fitting the external boot to the size of the foot;
• lateral stiffness increased by reducing air gaps;
• the belt is equipped with Velcro for easy operation;
• stiffness control.Provided by adjusting the angle of the leg;
• replaceable overlays. Outsole pads can be replaced if worn.

Most consumers of this brand rate ski boots as excellent. Pleased with the quality and resistance to getting wet.

However, there are also dissatisfied reviews. Several people claim that due to the high sole of the shoes, the stability of the legs deteriorates, and also small sizes are missing. But this practically does not affect the overall picture of the Salomon brand, so you can safely put a rating of “5”.
