Badly with the feet ?

Being given that the ski boots are different from the traditional shoes, the traditional sizes are not always taken into account. Certain manufacturers indicate the sizes according to the volume of the shoe, others by the system of Mondo point which measures the length of the foot in centimetres. If need be, we will take your measurements. One generally recommends a half size in-top of your usual size. Trust also your instinct: do not buy and do not rent a shoe of which you are not sure. When one does not have the practice, the ski boots can seem very awkward. Carry sufficiently a long time in the store before acquiring of it.








Size
You incline behind. Your toes owe hardly effleurer the end of the shoe. If you do not touch it, the shoes are too large. If you force forwards, they will hurt you. Pose initially the heel and then your toes. Does your foot move back or advances? If it is the case, the shoes are surely too large.


Contrôle
Try to put to you on the point of the feet inside your shoes. Your heel should not take off of the sole of more than one centimetre. If you can turn your knees on one side to the other without making rock the shoes, or that you can turn your feet inside the shoe, you will not have a good catch of cross-section.

Confort
Can you move the toes? If it is not the case, they will cool and feel with the narrow one. After having carried the shoes in the store, do you feel an unspecified pain? The significant points are the ankles (inside and outside), the tibiae and the toes.

For the children
The major difficulty which arises when his children are equipped, it is that they are always in full growth. Avoid buying too large equipment with which they will have evil to ski and which could generate wounds.
The foot of a young grown child from 2 to 3 sizes per annum, that of a schoolboy from 1 to 2 each year. When the shoe is too small, the skeleton ceases growing. With the extreme, that made it possible to create the Chinese foot for the young girls has who one bandaged the feet to leave only one stub at the adulthood for reasons of seduction. When a new pair tardily is bought, phenomena of correction can occur and the foot can grow of a size in a few weeks. A very young child who walks on the point of the feet often shows that its shoes are right.

The ski boots must be carried as of the tennis shoes - sufficiently large so that the child can stir up the toes.
