Heel lifts change boot fit in a variety of ways:
- Adjusting Boot Fit: Heel lifts can improve the overall fit of the ski boots, making them more comfortable by reducing pressure on certain areas, such as the Achilles tendon or the top of the foot.
- Improving Stance and Posture: By elevating the heel, these inserts can help skiers achieve a more forward-leaning stance, which is beneficial for better control and balance while skiing. This forward lean is crucial for aggressive skiing styles and helps in maintaining proper posture.
- Compensating for Leg Length Discrepancy: Some skiers may have one leg slightly longer than the other. Heel lifts can be used to balance out this discrepancy, improving comfort and performance.
- Enhancing Performance: By adjusting the angle of the foot inside the boot, heel lifts can enhance the skier's ability to pressure the ski edges more effectively, improving turning precision and overall skiing performance.
- Reducing Calf Pressure: Heel lifts can alleviate pressure on the calves by changing the angle at which the leg enters the boot. This is particularly helpful for skiers with large or tight calves.
- Preventing Shin Bang: Heel lifts can help reduce the occurrence of shin bang, which is pain or bruising on the shin caused by repeated contact with the front of the boot. By changing the angle, the shin may experience less direct impact.
*Please note we always recommend visiting your local boot fitter before attempting any boot fitting work by yourself.
