Are you ready to ski this season?

Did you know that bespoke orthotics have multiple benefits for skiers?

When preparing for your next ski holiday, no doubt you’ll be running through the long list of kit needed to ensure you can enjoy the variable conditions: ski jacket and pants, helmet, goggles and gloves, thermals and socks, not to mention your favourite après gear!

But central to every ski holiday is the ultimate accessory – the ski boot. (OK skis are important too, but they don’t need tailoring, and many people hire and swap out skis to suit style and terrain at their leisure). But back to the ski boots…

Why are ski boots so important?

Because if you’ve ever skied in ill-fitting boots, it’s an experience you’ll never want to repeat. Pressure points, numb or damp feet, shin burn, blisters, poor ski control, you name it. And that is why many committed skiers choose to buy their own boots and have the fit personalised. In this way, you’ve already on your way to an improved skiing experience and greater enjoyment.

But there’s more…

Did you know that by having tailor-made orthotics you can take your ski boots and your skiing to another level?

Improve your ski boot comfort, improve your skiing performance

Ski boots can be rigid and unwieldy, and it can require some experimenting to get them just right. If you’ve been struggling with the fit of your ski boots, sore spots or cold feet, then why not book in for a FREE 30-minute consultation at Foot Factor. A custom orthotic is a necessity and a luxury all in one!

• Custom fitting for comfort and support
  Each insole is moulded to the precise shape of your foot to give a bespoke fit, supporting and cushioning your feet in just the right places. The insole should hold the foot in a neutral position providing a positive platform and even weight distribution.
• Improve alignment, reduce fatigue
  With the feet stabilised, the body is in better alignment and more able to resist the forces experienced through the feet, knees, legs and hips when skiing. Custom orthotics prevent the arch from collapsing helping to put power into the turn and reducing fatigue, so you can ski ‘stronger and longer’.
• Circulation and warmth
  Your custom insoles can help to ensure good circulation but remember – don’t over-tighten the forefoot of your ski boots they should just be holding lightly. Good circulation through the feet means warmer feet and better all-day performance. Cold feet lose the sense of contact with the skis and reduce precision and control.

Suitable for all levels

What’s more, ski orthotics are suitable for all ages and abilities. You’ll all benefit in different ways whether you’re a beginner getting to grips with skiing technique, are an advancing skier wanting a more positive fit to give you confidence on those black runs, or an expert looking to fine-tune your off-piste manoeuvres.
