Bootfitting
We are highly experienced in the customization of ski boots. In cases of painful feet, cramp, blisters or a burning feeling during skiing, customization of your ski boots can make a big difference. We have lots of possibilities to adapt your ski boots to your feet. Our team exists of experts who are trained as bootfitter bij Sidas and the Lange Bootfitting University. After a comprehensive analysis we determine the best solution for your situation.
Measurement
At first, it is very important to measure your feet properly. As one of the first winter sports specialists in The Netherlands we make us of a Sids 3D scanner for the measurement and analysis stage. With this 3D scanner we are able to measure your feet and lower leg very precise. Therefore we are better able to determine problems and can make very precise adjustments to your ski boots.
Customization
Within the possibilities of customization of your ski boots, there are a number of options. The most common options are:
- custom insoles
- heat molding the liner
- heat molding the shell
- grinding the shell
Insoles
Custom insoles are able to solve a lot of problems that are not caused by ski boots, but caused by the feet themselves. Standard insoles of ski boots offer very little support. Proper support of your feet results in many situations in less cramp and less tired feet. Moreover, custom insoles increase the control of your skis and it is likely that your ski level increases too.
Liner
We have the equipment to heat mold different types of lines and customize to your feet. And we are able to heat mold all types of liners from our ski boot collection: regular liners, Intuition liners and ZipFit liners.
Molding & grinding
In case that heat molding the liner does not result in the desired outcome, we often adapt the shell of the ski boot. Adapting the shell of the ski boot is optional by pressing the shell under heat molding or grinding the shell. Heat molding the shell is common with ankle and forefoot issues. Grinding the shell is often a solution for length issues of ski boots.
Bootfitting your own ski boots
When your ski boots do not give you the desired comfort, it is not always necessary to directly buy new ones. In many cases we are able to adapt your existing ski boots. So it is a wise decision to bring them to your bootfitting appointment.
