A skier's outfit must include ski boots. This is an unusual shoe and increased demands are made on it. You cannot save on ski boots, their quality should be as high as possible. Among the range of similar shoes, the Spine ski boots stand out.

About the brand

The Spine brand belongs to the Russian company Sport-Industry, which was founded in 1999. The birthplace of the new company was the city of Yaroslavl. A year later, a new model of ski shoes appeared on the sports goods market, which was radically different from the copies existing at that time. The first model featured an anatomical last and a modern outsole. Athletes and fans of winter outdoor activities immediately appreciated the new product, so its popularity began to grow exponentially.

Since then, the manufacturer has significantly expanded its product range. Now, under the Spine brand, ski boots of various price categories are produced, for men, women and even children, as well as ski poles and a wide range of bindings.

The company is constantly working on improving existing developments and searching for new technologies. We regularly consult with the best coaches and great athletes. Every new ski boot model is tested in sports schools and in various competitions.

Models

Boots NNN

The NNN ski boot category represents professional models suitable for NNN or Rottefella bindings and consists of the following subgroups.

Racing

All boots that are combined in this category are designed for skating.These are professional footwear that is able to satisfy the needs of beginner athletes and experienced skiers.

  • For example, the Carrera Carbon 285 and Pro 398k, as well as the Carrera 197 are ideal for skating, can withstand up to -30 degrees. For the top, a high quality frost-resistant material is used, complemented by a PVC coating. The construction of such boots has carbon fiber cuffs that allow you to fix the ankle joint well, and a thermal valve made of an elastic material with a water-repellent effect.

The boots are easy and quick to put on due to the presence of a quick lacing system. Shock-absorbing pads are placed inside the boot. The manufacturer made it impossible to twist the sole by using polyethylene and cardboard in the main insole. Thus, it was possible to improve the fixation of the boot in the ski bindings. The insole has a multi-layer construction, which is created from materials with varying degrees of rigidity. With such boots, the skis become controllable and easily amenable to the control of the athlete.

  • The Concept Skate Pro 596 is additionally equipped with 3-layer capro-veneer insulation, an asymmetric heel reinforcement, micrometric clips, a heel strap and a torsion plate as an intermediate insole.

Appointment

There are several types of boots based on their purpose:

  • Classic boots are characterized by uniformity and affordability. Professional classic boots suitable for cross-country skiing.
  • General purpose boots are usually not available in a very wide assortment, since they can be used for short skiing trips or walking in the woods.
  • Skating models are the choice of professionals. They should provide maximum comfort, since the foot will be constantly in motion.

How to choose?

Ski boots need to be carefully sized, since sports will be impossible in small or large shoes, and you can even get injured. Ski boots should fit well, not squeeze or be too loose.

First of all, you need to decide on the style of shoes that will suit you best.

It is better to go shopping for ski boots in the evening on a weekday. It is at such a time that a large amount of blood rushes to the legs, they fill up a little and take on their maximum possible size. During the morning fitting, the shoes can fit perfectly, and in the evening they will already press and bring some discomfort. You should take a pair of warm socks with you for fitting.

If the purchase of ski boots will be carried out through an online store, which means that without trying on, then it is necessary to take measurements of the legs the night before. To do this, again, you need to choose the evening time after a hard day. We put on warm socks and put our foot on a piece of paper. We outline the foot with a pencil, holding it at a right angle. During this procedure, it is forbidden to squat down, which will lead to a distortion of the foot pattern.

In the resulting picture, you need to put two points: one - in the middle of the heel, and the second - at the place where the thumb begins. We connect the points and measure the resulting distance. When choosing the required size of ski boots, the size grid, which is present in many manufacturers, is very helpful.

Reviews

Spine boots have received extremely positive reviews and flattering praise. This high opinion is typical not only for Russian athletes, but also for professionals from other countries, who appreciated the quality, level and advanced technologies used in the production process.

"... When choosing the required size of ski boots, the dimensional grid, which is present in many manufacturers, is very helpful ..." Fair statement. It's a pity that Spine hasn't gotten around to creating and publishing a dimensional grid for its boots in its twenty years of existence. Apparently, different models with the same size markings are made for different actual foot sizes.
