Skiing for 25 years. Never thought to move them to the side.

A heated boot bag is a big help too. Softens the plastic up, big help for stiffer boots.

Brilliant. Thank you. Had some headaches, even rage, with ski boots. Have bunions on both feet by my big toes.

This is something I've been struggling with the last few days, these tips are amazing! Thanks! I also had no idea the buckles could be adjusted by turning them, mind blown.

Skiing for 40 years and just recently ruined a 2-year-old boot lining forcing my foot in. The guy at the ski shop showed me the technique shown in this video with moving the tongue to the side pulling on it with one hand and spreading the shell with the other hand. I couldn't believe how easy it was to get my foot in the boot after that. Really great tips in this video for getting boots both on and off. Thank you!

Great vid. I also put a thin strip of duck tape on top of my insole to help slide my foot in and out.

I'd love to see a demonstration of how to do it with custom liners and with a BOA boot. Is it more difficult with BOA?
@blisterreview
@blisterreview 8 ай бұрын
Not much changes with BOA vs. traditional lower buckles - just fully loosen (i.e., "pop out") the BOA dial before putting on / taking off, just like you would with buckles. Certain custom liners (in particular, ZipFits) work better with a "World Cup entry" where you put the liner on your foot, then liner+foot into the shell. ZipFit has a useful video on their Instagram account that shows that method.

I would think the best method was developed by British nobility. Having a servant! When not helping you with your boots they could carry your skis to the lift and other assorted chores. 😂

I ski in racing plug boots which are very stiff and narrow. My liners have laces, but I only use the upper laces. I still have a difficult time to get the liners in and out of the shells. I working on patenting an opening device I use to open ALL two piece shells so I can put my liners attached to my feet into shells. I never put my boots on in the parking lot. Instead, I carry a small hair dryer I can warm up my boots and dry off my feet in the lodge or rest room. Also NEVER wear the same socks you had in you shoes that you were a driver/passenger of a car/bus you used to drive to the ski area. Just this year I bought a "Ski Boot Sport Grip" which is a 40 cm device that has a U shape that goes to the heel of a ski boot, and a hook that goes into the back of the liner. Push on the top of the device and your ski boot comes right off. If you have plug boots...this is a miracle device.

Any opinion on taking the lining out for drying - using heating elements for drying?

Started to learn skiing this year and decided to invest into a good pair of ski boots. Went to a professional store where my foot was measured. Every time I weak my ski boots, a sheen area of my leg feels not very comfortable, if I wear for a long time it even hurts a bit if I apply pressure to it. Could you please recommend what to do? I can’t return the boots and buying new ones is not the option either unfortunately 😢 so disappointed

Great video! I follow the same procedure as Kara to get my boots on, but I also find is very helpful to stand up and flex forward into the tongue numerous times while incrementally tightening the buckles and power strap. I find that helps me work out the kinks and find the most even pressure distribution from the buckles and strap on my shin. For those of us with very tight fitting boots (race boots or race inspired) that are extra hard to get into, I find the $12 ZipFit ski boot horn is a godsend.

I do exactly what you’re saying except, I make sure my instep follows up my tongue so I don’t cut my instep on the edges of the boot.

I used to do all this successfully for years with my old 120 boots, but on moving to a 130 pair with tour wrap liners, I now find it damn near impossible to get my feet in or out past the more rigid instep area. I have to put the liners on first, and then step in or out of the shell. Which is unfortunately causing my moulded footbeds to crack at the pivot point.

I understand the struggle. I ski on a head wrc2 raptor adjusted to 160 and lace liners. You have to grab both, the cuff and the instep part of the boot and open them as wide as you can, or use the easy method. Cut a milk jug and use it as a shoe horn, it will slide in pretty easy. Also I been using a cork footbed for 7 seasons (all 80+ days per season) and no sings of tear, you might want to try them. Are a little bit pricier at some places but last longer

@Pablocarrascoop 8 ай бұрын
@@Benzknees I'm not really sure, as the brand got erased from the footbed due to wear. I bought them at Christy Sports in Beaver Creek 7 years ago, and their website isn't very good, so I couldn't find them in their catalog. The most similar one I was able to find is the Sidas Custom Winter Pro Soles, but it's slightly different. Maybe you should ask a bootfitter for advice on your needs, and for sure he or she will provide the best solution available in your area. Remember, it's important to have those footbeds fitted properly. Hope this info helps a bit. Let me know if there's anything else I can do. Good luck with your search!

Warm dry boots very important. Take liners out and dry on radiator overnight. Don't put boots on up on the mountain as if they get cold they will contact and be harder to put on
