EXPERIENCE
This boot is perfect for the advanced skier looking for the right mix of performance/comfort/precision. The 900 Evofit boot has a PU shell for a progressive and constant 110 flex in all temperatures. The liner's Overlap system (wraparound shape) gives very good support transmission and easy entry.
The Evofit liner offers optimum comfort, improved by thermoforming the entire liner!
HOOK ADJUSTMENT
This boot is equipped with 4 micro-metric aluminium hooks. You can adjust the buckle length by screwing or unscrewing the hook. The top hook has 3 positions (tool-free adjustment) to fit all calf sizes. A wide strap for very strong closure at the top.
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 boot: the higher the figure, the stiffer the shell. A flex of 60-70 is considered best for skiers at beginner level. A flex from 70 to 100 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 adapted to the shape of your foot to prevent it from being squashed and pressing against the shell. Ask a store assistant for advice.
3- If after two days of skiing you still feel some discomfort then thermoform your liner.
Is my liner thermoformable, and what use is thermoforming?
The EVOFIT liner is made of 100% thermoformable foam which can be heated to mould to the shape of your feet and the shell of the boot. This improves foot/liner/shell compatibility and reduces areas of discomfort.
How can I thermoform my liner at home?
1- Preheat the convection oven to 80°C.
2- Remove the liners from the shells.
3- Remove the insoles from your liners.
4- Put the liner part only in the oven for 10 minutes.
5- Remove the liners from the oven.
6- Put the insoles back inside the liners.
7- Put the liners in the boots.
8- Put on your boots and tighten each buckle slightly.
9- Wait for 15 minutes at room temperature before taking them off.
Now you’re ready to go skiing!
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.
