102mm last: Slightly wider than average to give a great fit for most skiers. This last was designed to fit pretty much everyone, but really wide feet, or the opposite, should look for different lasts more appropriate for their foot types. Seamless Slider: Smooth material on the inside back of the liner to help the foot slide in and out of the boot with less effort. Shock Absorber Heel: An insert in the heel absorbs shock from harsh, jolting terrain, and helps cushion big air landings. 35mm strap: Wider than average strap at the top of the boot to help keep the boot together and to give good performance while skiing. Thermofit Insole: An upgrade from most standard insoles, the Thermofit insole is anatomically shaped for greater heel holding power. Body heat also helps break in the insole to take shape of the foot faster. Sensitive Toebox: Neoprene in the toe of the liner adds extra insulation, and is flexible for skiers that need a precise fit with their boots. Micro-adjustable alloy buckles: These alloy buckles can be twisted to adjust for size, so if the default position of the buckle and the teeth is too wide or too narrow, you can twist the buckle like a screw until it fits just right. Replaceable Toe and Heel Pads: This is a must-have for skiers that don't live in ski in/ski out condos. When your ski tech tells you that you have to buy new boots because the soles are worn down too much, just laugh at him and tell him to order you a new set of sole plates. SOMA-Tec: The positioning of the feet in a SOMA boot is in a natural 'V' shape, with the toes pointed slightly outward, and the heels slightly inward. This positioning puts the skier's center of gravity over the middle of the ski for better control and edging power. This design also creates less stress on the knee and ankle joints. Fischer Fit System: Knowing that no two skiers are the same, Fischer mixes the feature list to match the performance and comfort level that different levels of skiers need. This ensures that recreational skiers don't end up with boots that have a race fit, and ensures that racers don't end up with a squishy comfort liner. |
