BOOT PRICES
Boot prices range from $399 to $1199 from entry level through to expert. The difference is quite substantial with the variation in ski boot molding and the number of injections the boot encounters, plastics used, buckles, features and liner materials between models which effect support and stiffness required from beginner to expert skiers. Boot stiffness varies through the range as does the different thickness and compounds of PU or Polyether structures used. This is essential to fasten power transmission initiated from the skier into the ski binding interface. The softer the ski boot shell the more forgiving the reaction times, the stiffer the faster it becomes, however only good ski techniques or body mass will be able to flex the boot to get the performance out of it.
With this in mind ski boot manufacturers have created a flex rating scale from beginner to expert.
