The 500 is designed for intermediate skiers looking for a simple yet effective boot with unbeatable value for money. Easy to slip on/off thanks to a connector. The 4 micrometric aluminum buckles and a strap ensure secure tightening. Its generous volume (102 mm) and thick liner combine comfort and support. Fairly flexible (Flex 70) for good ski handling with tolerance.

Experience

The 500 ski boot has 4 aluminum micrometric buckles for powerful and precise tightening. Adjust the length of the buckle for the ideal fit. The top 2 buckles have 3 positions to fit all calf sizes (requires a screwdriver). A wide, adjustable strap on the upper for strong and easy closure at the top of the shell.

Buckle adjustment

Brands assign a flex rating to every boot. This rating indicates the rigidity of the boot: the higher the value, the stiffer the shell. A flex of 60–70 is considered best for beginner skiers. A flex rating of 70–90 is for intermediate skiers. A rating above 100 is aimed at advanced skiers. Heavier skiers, however, can go up a level.

What is flex?

The size of ski boots is stated in Mondopoint size. It’s actually the length of the foot in cm. 
Wedge your heels along a wall, slide a sheet of paper underneath, flex and measure the longest foot.
For example, if your foot measures 27.2 cm, you should choose size 27/27.5.
A size 27 shoe is exactly the same as a 27.5 Sometimes only the insole is different.

What’s my shoe size?

Once your foot is in the boot, fasten the buckles to the midpoint. Can you go further? This means the volume of the boot isn’t right for you. Once the boot is closed, flex the boots three times by pressing hard on the shins (put your hands on your knees to help) and push your heel backwards inside the boot. Stand upright: your foot should touch the end of the shell. When you flex, your foot should move backwards so you can no longer feel the tip.

How do you know if the boot is the right size?

1- Choose a technical ski sock that’s thin to prevent pressure points and promote blood circulation in the foot.
2- Choose a sole adapted to the shape of your foot to prevent it from being squashed and pressing against the shell. Ask an in-store salesperson for advice.


What should you do in case of foot pain?

1- Air out your boots by removing the liner from the plastic shells.
2- Fasten the buckles at the first notch to prevent the boots from becoming deformed and, if possible, store them in a boot bag. 
3- If possible, store them in a dry place above 10°C. The boot’s plastic will thank you for it!
