Despite huge improvements in standard ski boot, it may be necessary to have a special foamed inner boot made.

 

This is advisable in the following cases:

  • very thin feet, especially around the heel
  • extremley wide feet 
  • racing, for direct transfer of force 
  • touring and freeride boots, for improved fixation
  • misshapen feet, caused by accidents etc.

Foamed Tongue


The tongue is one of the most important parts of the ski boot.  It transfers force onto the ski. It may be advisable to have an individually made tongue in the following cases: 

  • too little heel support
  • very boney and protruding shins
  • racing, for higher sensitivity and improved transfer of force

The Foam

The most important part of foaming is the hardness and the composition of the foam. According to the part of the boot being foamed, harder and more compact or softer foam is used.
