Last season was the first time Tecnica came out with their new Air Shell Technology. This season it appears in more performance oriented boots. Simply pump up the air bladder by using one of the pumps on the back of the boot until your feet feel comfortable and secure. When you want to release the air simply press the other pump to give your foot more space. Along with this feature Tecnica has added the Quick Instep, Cuff Alignment, and Triple Position Cuff Catches to increase value. All these features exist in a boot that would be great even if it were stripped down. The new 100mm last and 100 flex in this Demon boot are a great combination that will allow intermediates and near experts to quickly progress to the next level. Skiers with B-D width feet and all insteps except the absolute largest will fit easily inside.
This men’s ski boot is measured in mondo sizing. The easiest way to determine your size is to
look at the chart below. Locate your
regular shoe size and look down to determine your boot size.
Mondo size can be translated to US sizing fairly
easily. Let’s use 27.5 for example. Add the first 2 numbers together and get a 9,
then move the .5 behind the 9. Therefore
a size 27.5 is relatively a 9.5. It does
get a bit more confusing because skiers typically wear a ski boot that is 1
size smaller than their regular shoes.
So a person who skis in a 27.5 boot will typically wear a 10 or 10.5
shoe. This simply conversion works
almost all the time. It is extremely
rare a person will wear the same size ski boot as regular shoe.
