CARING FOR YOUR BOOTS

Ski and Snowboard boots need to be dried out thoroughly at the end each trip, before they are put away for storage. In most boots, you can remove the boot liners out of the shells, and also the footbeds out of the liners, to allow them dry out completely. When putting your ski boots away it is best to do the buckles and straps up, roughly in a position used when skiing. This stops the buckles and plastic from bending outwards, away from the shell, making them easier to put on next time around. It's also best to store your boots, once fully dry, in a decent boot bag to stop any dust or other debris getting into the boot when in storage. You should also check the soles of your ski boots on a yearly basis for excessive signs of wear and tear. Walking with them in the car park or other hard surface can quickly wear down the heel and toe pieces which can significantly affect the boots functionality and safety in the binding. Heel and toe pieces on some boots are replaceable - please give us a call for more information. To prevent excessive wear and tear, consider using some Cat Tracks, which slip on and off the bottoms of your boots easily.
