Ski boots NNN

The most popular sport in winter is skiing. Not the last role is played by reliability and safety. For a very long time, the debate about which type of fastening is better - NNN or SNS, does not abate.

NNN is a ski boot fastening system. This type of attachment is offered by Rottefella. The mount is considered universal and suitable for any shoes, with the exception of shoes for children and adolescents.

A distinctive feature are two parallel stops. The mount has four stiffness options and two notches. Boots with this mount are better suited for skating due to the fact that the bracket is shifted back.

SNS is a profile type of attachment created by the French company Salomon. It has three options for stiffness, one notch on the shoe and a bracket at the edge.

The main differences between NNN and SNS are:

• Clamps. In NNN, it is located under the fingers. This improves handling. And the SNS - in front of the toe.
• Guides. NNN has two parallel protrusions, and SNS - one central.
• Control. The NNN mount has the best control control, especially during skating, which is not to be said about SNS.
• The number of stiffness options.

Ski boots are divided into two categories:

• High boots are used for skating. They firmly fix the leg to avoid injury during skiing. It is important when choosing shoes for skating to choose the right size to avoid injury.
• Low boots provide comfort while riding in a classic style. They have a soft top and sole.
• Universal or combined - suitable for both the first and the second driving style and have an average length.

• Professional - withstand heavy loads and serve for a very long time.
• Tourist boots are made so that it is convenient not only to ride in them, but also to walk. They are made from a combination of leather and synthetics, withstand heavy loads and do not let moisture through.
• Amateur models - differ in bright design and have no basic requirements and are created for walks.
• Baby - should be easy to dress and take off, be comfortable and keep warm. Some manufacturers in the sale of children's ski boots put an extra insole, so that you can adjust the size and the shoes have served longer.

There are hundreds of brands that manufacture ski boots. How not to get lost in the names? And which brand to choose for yourself?

Salomon. All the same French company that produces mounting SNS. Not just big, but a huge choice for any level of training. Continuous improvement of shoes is the release of a new model.

Lange. One of the best manufacturers. No wonder their slogan - No1 in the global market. The top models of this brand, designed by designers Ferrari.

The main feature of the Italian brand Tecnica is a cuff gate. It is designed not only for top models, but also for models of other, lower levels. Another difference is the minimum vibration from the skis, this allows the leg to not get tired during long-term skiing. The shoes of this company perfectly keep warm even at low temperatures.

Rossignol. Perhaps one of the first companies that paid attention to the design of women's skis. The brand is important merchantability product, so he uses different marketing moves, such as skis for "fatal women."

Nordica. The largest producer. More than 700,000 pairs of shoes are produced annually. And in the middle of the last century, the Kastle ski factory was bought by the brand.

Fischer produces shoes of its own concept. Products of this brand are considered relatively inexpensive and very popular among young skiers.

When choosing a ski boot, the material of which they are made plays an important role. Leather, canvas, synthetic - it all depends on personal comfort. But you need to understand that the denser and harder the material, the harder it will be to remove shoes after use. For some hard models, it takes about 20 minutes to stay warm.

Another disadvantage of hard rubber is that the holes made under the fasteners are pulled out very quickly. Although the price of such models is much lower than the rest. But we all remember the saying: "The miser pays twice."

Artificial leather. The most common material in the manufacture of ski boots. Good manufacturers of shoes made of synthetic materials and artificial leather do not crack in the cold and serve for a very long time. Such models have high quality insulation. There are, of course, boots made of genuine leather, but they are very few and are purchased only by those to whom this moment is fundamental. The undeniable advantage of synthetic and artificial materials, of course, is the preservation of form. What can not be said about the boots from natural materials.
