99mm Last Width: This width of boot is a bit narrower the average, to provide a better fit for narrower feet, or a tighter fit for those wanting a great level of performance. 40mm strap: Super wide strap found on high performance boots. The extra width spreads out the force while skiing and reduces the pressure point on the upper shin. 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. Adjustable rear spoiler: With a quick adjustment, the height at the top rear of the boot can be raised or lowered. If you are taller than average for your boot size, or if you just want the extra support at the back of the leg, you can adjust the spoiler up about 1cm from standard. This will also pitch you forward slightly into a more aggressive stance. Double Canting: Two adjustment bolts, one each side of the ankle, allow for maximum adjustment for leg/knee alignment problems. The canting helps the skis stay flat on the ground while you are still bow-legged or knock-kneed. Forward Lean Adjust: The forward pitch or angle can be adjusted on this boot to obtain a more aggressive stance for attacking the hill. 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. |
