EXPERIENCE
The Wed'ze WID 300 ski boot is an ideal boot for learning to ski. Its flex is sufficient to support you as you progress while being very tolerant of mistakes.
HOOK ADJUSTMENT
This boot is equipped with 3 extremely robust aluminium micro-metric hooks. You can adjust the length of the buckle by tightening or loosening the hook. The top hook has 3 positions for every calf size. Strap for powerfully and easily tightening the top of the boot.
What is FLEX?
To provide an indication of boot rigidity, brands assign a flex rating to every boot. This figure indicates the rigidity of the entire assembly: the higher the figure, the stiffer the shell. A flex below 60 is designed for beginner level skiers. A flex from 60 to 80 is for intermediate skiers. Beyond this value, the products are aimed at advanced skiers. Well-built skiers can go up one level.
How to know if the boot you are trying on is the right size
Once the foot is in the boot, fasten the buckles to the midpoint. Can you go further? This means the volume of the boot isn't right for you. Once the boot is closed, you must flex the boots 3 times by pressing hard on the shins (put your hands on your knees to help) and push your heel backwards inside the boot. Stand upright: your foot should touch the end of the shell. When you flex, your foot should move backwards so you can no longer feel the end.
What should you do if you experience foot pain?
1- Choose a technical ski sock that's thin so it prevents pressure points and promotes blood circulation in the foot.
2- Choose a sole that is suited to the shape of your foot so that it doesn't get squashed or pressed up against the shell. Ask a sales assistant for advice.
How to store your ski boots
1- Air your boots by removing the liner that is inside the plastic shells.
2- Fasten the hooks at the first notch to prevent the boots from becoming deformed and, if possible, store them in a boot bag.
3- If possible, store them in a dry place where the temperature will not drop below 10°C. This will protect the plastic of the boots.
