Do's and Don'ts of putting on Ski Boots!

[@PlaneImpactGolf]

For future videos, stop the background music couldn’t understand you

[@theskicompany2629]

Aw bummer. Will keep that in mind for the next one!

[@shawnhsu]

@@theskicompany2629I kinda like the bgm tho😊Thanks for the video!

[@PaulBeiser]

Really good, thanks, I like the 2 hands opening the boot and tongue approach. I typically use a boot horn, but I like this approach better, will try it!

[@theskicompany2629]

Thanks! Glad it helped. Boot horns aren't bad, but it is another thing to carry.

[@moefugger]

Definately right to the point and very helpful , nicely done !

[@theskicompany2629]

Glad it was helpful!

[@PaulvanderBreggen]

Always nice to have back ground music cluttering the voice explaining.

With the Rosignol vizion and Nordica HF, you can slide right into the boot because they have a special top wide entry mechanism. No need for hands and in fact, with the Vizion, you can actually put your foot into the shell with the liner already on.

[@Oldwiseguy-59]

One good ski sock means not a heavy sock because they can bunch up more than thin or medium socks, so if you want a true ski sock, it will be padded/thicker in the shin for comfort, heel for grip and toe for a bit extra warmth.

Great tips, video was super helpful

[@theskicompany2629]

Heck yeah! Good luck!

[@jamesspadaro1996]

Helpful, thanks.

[@theskicompany2629]

You're welcome!

[@Delubeyp]

Love your video! Thank you! And here’s a silly question: what base layer pant do you recommend? I bought one for my son, it fits well on him, but he can’t roll it up to his knee and can’t put it outside the ski socks or the boots, so inside the boots, he has both ski socks and the base layer, with base layer next to his skin. Can you explain how to choose the right base layer pant for ski and maybe recommend a brand you know well? Thank you!

[@mikecampbell7421]

Thanks, many, many years skiing and still the most difficult thing is the bloody boots !!!!!!

[@cdavid939]

What about the lacing on the tongue?

[@theskicompany2629]

Plug boots are a different beast!! Definitely make sure the shells are nice and warm. We've been selling Boot Doc Eazy-On Spray that works great with plug boots. www.bootdoc-hotronic.com/en_us/products/fitting-materials-tools/fitting-materials/eazy-on-spray-shoe-fitting-insoles-fitting-boot-fitting-19455x38.html

[@Oldwiseguy-59]

Buckle with one finger, why you ask, because if too tight it compresses blood flow and can give you pins-n-needles and cold toes.

[@christophhafner8673]

the music is much to loud

[@MrSlowbo]

Wanted to watch this but music killed it for me

[@juanlozano1713]

what’s the disadvantage of wearing cotton socks?

[@connorp8408]

Wool wicks the sweat away a lot better, thus keeping your feet warmer. I highly highly highly recommend getting yourself a pair of ski socks. They typically have a little extra padding in the shins and are the best material for winter weather socks, thin where they should be, thick where they should be.

[@charliefoxtrot5001]

They absorb moisture without wicking it away from the skin. You end up with cold feet.

[@OldDirtGuy]

Now do a 15 year old Strolz when it's cold.

[@raymondsiewert2720]

I thought after you have the boot on, you push the tongue back down a little to seat your heel and your arch, to keep from getting heel float ? When your boot gets to 40° F. No matter how warm you were trying to keep them, they are not that easy, even doing all that you showed and said.

[@theskicompany2629]

@raymondsiewert2720 To each their own, but typically that will just put unwanted pressure on the top of your instep. 9/10 pulling up on the tongue makes the boot feel and fit better. If you are experiencing a lot of slop or play, could be wrong size or wrong shape boot. Footbeds help to address any arch/ instep issues and highly recommended. Also, don't put on cold boots! Keep 'em up front in your car/truck/SUV on the way to the hill. Cold boot = cold feet! Warm boots = easier to put on and warmer feet! Just some tips!

[@happykillmore349]

You absolutely NOT need a single hand to put a quality fitting boot on. This is such an old urban legend that it's laughable that people are still pushing it. Ask any owner of a Full Tilt if they've ever used their hands to slide their boots on. Seriously, why not ask an experienced skiier or boot fitter to help make the video? Simply being into a sport isn't really grounds for lending advice
