Another popular piece of art from the Salomon brand. Their features:

• reduced wear of shoes;
• compactness;
• easy operation. They are easy to take off and put on;
• simple adjustment.

The correct choice of shoes guarantees the athlete comfort while skiing. Therefore, this stage is best approached with all responsibility.

• So, the primary thing to focus on is the dimensional grid. Any self-respecting seller will provide the buyer with a section of parameters of the necessary goods with all sizes.
• Ski boots should fit tightly on the leg, just like any other sports shoes. If the shoes fit freely, it will take more effort than necessary to control the sports equipment.

• The second point to pay attention to is rigidity. Depending on the weight and height of the athlete varies and the rigidity of the shoe. The greater the weight or height, the harder the shoe. When trying on before buying, it is not necessary to forget that in the warmth the boots will seem softer than at low temperatures.

It is worth noting that soft shoes are comfortable, and hard ones give full control over speed and maneuvers. Therefore, depending on the needs of the buyer, it is worth choosing one or another form of rigidity.

• The next item is a block. The width of this attribute of shoes varies from 92 to 108mm. The smaller the boot size, the smaller this width. The declared width of the pads may differ from the actual, so the most important thing is to always measure the shoes.

There are shoes in which this indicator can be changed mechanically or in some other way, for example, using a soft insert. In ski boots, the width of the pads is minimal for good fixation of the feet.

• You should not forget about the belt. The width of this attribute is in the range from 25 to 65mm. The belt looks like a strep or booster, and the wider it is, the more secure the lower leg will be.

• Inner. It can be either fully thermoformed or partially. It is necessary for cushioning and landing flexibility. However, this innovation dulls the feeling of skiing.

• Insulation. The material of the inner body is the basis for heat preservation. The thicker such material, the warmer the foot. However, in ski boots such material is reduced to a minimum thickness.

To preserve heat, a material such as down and wool is used. But we must remember that you can not wear socks made of cotton or wool for ski boots.Feet in such socks just freeze, because wool and cotton material do not work well with moisture. Low socks are also extremely not recommended to wear with ski boots, because they can rub the leg area.

One of the reasons for the freezing of the legs may be dragging puffs. From this, the vessels do not provide the necessary blood flow to the limbs, and the legs freeze.

Improper stance can also cause freezing of the limbs. The pressure during a straight upright increases, so the vessels are strongly compressed, which also leads to impaired blood circulation.

By following a few rules, you can extend the life of a ski boot. Here are the basic details of how to properly care for sports shoes:

• after the walk, it is necessary to wash the boots from snow and dirt and dry the inside of the boots;
• for washing shoes use only soap with warm water. Do not use gasoline and other chemically active substances;
• Extend the inside of the shoe is strictly prohibited. To eliminate unpleasant odors, you must use special tools offered by the network of sports shops;
• It is forbidden to dry shoes on devices that produce heat. The plastic part can be deformed, and inside the boot everything can be unstuck.

There are quite a few collections of shoes offered by Salomon. Consider one of the collections that has earned the special trust of customers. The hit of this year's sales is the X PRO 120 BLACK / PETROL BLUE ski boot model.

Here are its features:

• Excellent energy transfer. Achieved due to the working properties of polymers, which are located in the rear leg region and on the sole;
• convenience. The upper area of ​​the boot is made of polyurethane, which contributes to the precise fit of the legs;
• the possibility of fitting the external shoe to the size of the foot;
• lateral stiffness increased by reducing air gaps;
• the belt is supplied with a flypaper for convenience of operation;
• stiffness control. It is provided by adjusting the angle of the tibia;
• interchangeable linings. Sole pads can be replaced when worn.

However, there are dissatisfied reviews. Several people claim that because of the high sole of the shoes, the stability of the legs is deteriorating, and also small sizes are missing. But this almost does not affect the overall picture of the Salomon brand review, so you can safely put a rating of "5".
