FOR SKIING ONLY
This boot was designed to be the ultimate XC racing ski boot . • The boot is designed for maximum skiing performance . • We use carbon parts , which have been shaped to create the perfect balance between performance and fit . • Carbon adds stiffness and support where it ’ s most needed , and is extremely lightweight – but needs special care , particularly when not out on the trails .
WHEN NOT ON THE TRAIL , ALWAYS USE OVERSHOES
Always use the boots together with the overshoes when not skiing . • Direct contact with concrete , asphalt , ice , sand , rock , stairs and any sharp objects can damage , even break the carbon outsole .
DO NOT BEND OR TWIST THE BOOT BY HAND
Never bend or twist the boots by hand . • Extreme bending or twisting of an empty boot ( as shown in the figure ) can result in damage , even breakage of the carbon elements . • Always put the boot on to get a feel for its remarkable flex characteristics .
DO NOT KNOCK THE BOOTS TOGETHER
Before stepping into the ski binding , clean the carbon sole carefully , by hand . • Similarly , clean the snow and dirt from the sole cleats by hand or with a ski pole . • Do not tap or knock the boots against each other or any other hard or sharp surfaces .
TRANSPORT BOOTS WITH CARE
