Accessories for Cross Country Boots
Safeguard Your Feet on Cross Country Routes
Insoles tailored for cross country skiing enhance the comfort of your feet and the overall skiing performance. Much like running, this sport entails a repetitive movement where pressure is applied from your feet to the skis. Cross country ski boot insoles offer support by distributing the skier's weight over a broader surface area, thereby diminishing sore areas and augmenting efficiency.
An added advantage of these footbeds is their ability to minimise foot movement within ski boots. As you propel yourself forward and glide on your skis, your feet remain securely held in position thanks to a specifically contoured section around the heels and arches. Without this precise design, your feet might slide back and forth during your glide.
Versatile Use of Insoles Across Various Settings
Certain cross country insoles come equipped with unique features such as battery-operated heated footbeds. Some utilise aluminium film or merino wool for superior insulation. However, most can be utilised in other sports like alpine skiing, roller skiing, or even jogging.
Opting for ski boot footbeds is a wise decision to elevate comfort in skiing, but if your boots are initially too tight or too loose, consider purchasing a fitting pair. Explore our range of Cross Country Ski Boots.
Warmth and Defence with Cross Country Ski Boot Covers
Cross country boot covers, or Nordic ski boot covers, fit over your boots to shield against fierce winds and loose snow. Besides offering protection, they provide an additional layer to keep your feet warm.
Cross country ski gaiters are typically longer than boot covers, as they're crafted for use in deeper snow often encountered in backcountry skiing. They feature hooks and loops at the base for security and a zip extending up the leg.
