How to choose cross-country ski boots: criteria
To choose the cross-country ski boots that suit you, several criteria need to be considered:
- Skiing style: classic or skating. Classic ski boots are lower, offering greater flexibility at the ankle. Skating ski boots are higher with a stiffer sole for better control.
- Size: Boots that are too large or too small can cause blisters and reduce your performance. It is recommended to try several sizes to find the one that fits your foot best.
- Foot support: Cross-country ski boots should securely support the foot from the midsection to the heel to provide a sense of security.
- Binding type: There are different binding systems (NNN, SNS, Prolink, Turnamic) that must be compatible with your ski bindings. Therefore, it is essential to look at this criterion carefully.
Differences between skating and classic ski boots
Skating and classic ski boots differ in several aspects.
For classic cross-country skiing, the boots are designed to provide great flexibility and freedom of movement. They have a lower cuff with a soft sole that follows the natural movement of the foot. Thus, they allow a more natural movement similar to walking.
On the other hand, skating cross-country ski boots have a high cuff that firmly supports the ankle. Their sole is rigid, promoting stability and lateral control necessary for skating technique. These boots offer increased support and stability, essential for skating.
There are also hybrid boots that allow both cross-country skiing techniques. They combine characteristics of both types of boots and can be an option for those who can't decide or want to alternate between classic and skating.
Focus on bindings: SNS, SNS Pilot, NNN, Prolink, Turnamic
In the world of cross-country skiing, SNS, NNN, and Prolink are three widely used binding systems.
- The SNS standard is the oldest of the current standards, grouping brands like Salomon, One Way, and Atomic (in skating). It has two bars for better stability and power transmission. It is only compatible with SNS cross-country ski boots. The SNS Pilot standard from Salomon exists to provide an additional solution and other compatibilities.
- NNN (New Nordic Norm), created by Rottefella, is a widely adopted standard. It has a single bar but has the advantage of being compatible with Prolink, NNN, and Turnamic boots.
- The Prolink system, developed by Salomon, is a response to the NNN standard. It offers a low interface for exceptional snow feel and is compatible with Prolink, NNN, and Turnamic boots.
These systems have their own specificities and advantages, so it is essential to know them to make the best choice for your needs.
Salomon, Rossignol, Fischer, Alpina, Atomic... brand options
Brands of cross-country ski boots like Salomon, Rossignol, Fischer, Atomic, and Alpina offer models distinguished by their performance, comfort, and adaptability. You will have a choice based on what you are looking for in terms of your discipline, binding type, or needs. Brands constantly strive to innovate to offer increasingly performance-oriented and comfortable boots.
Selection of boots for men, women, and kids
The selection of cross-country ski boots must take into account the gender and age of the skier.
For men, numerous models offer an excellent balance between performance and comfort.
For women, boots specially designed for their morphology are available, providing an optimal fit.
Finally, for children, it is essential to choose boots that properly support their ankles while being comfortable enough for a full day of cross-country skiing.
