Accessories for Cross Country Boots
Care for Your Feet on Cross Country Trails
Cross country skiing insoles are crafted to enhance comfort and boost performance during your skiing adventures. Much like running, cross country skiing involves repeated motions with pressure travelling from your feet to your skis. By using cross country ski boot insoles, you can support your feet effectively as the skier's weight is dispersed over a larger area, reducing pressure points and improving efficiency.
Additionally, these footbeds help minimise foot movement within the ski boots. When pushing forward to glide, your feet are securely positioned due to the tailored fit around the heels and arches. Without this snug design, you risk your feet sliding back and forth during forward glides.
Versatile Use of Insoles Across Different Activities
Certain cross country insoles include unique features, such as battery-powered heated footbeds. Others utilise aluminium film or merino wool for improved insulation. They are mostly versatile for other sports, including alpine skiing, roller skiing, and running.
Utilising ski boot footbeds is an intelligent method to augment comfort during skiing. However, if your boots do not fit correctly, it is advisable to invest in a well-fitting pair. Explore our collection of Cross Country Ski Boots.
Warmth and Shielding with Cross Country Ski Boot Covers
Also referred to as Nordic ski boot covers, these are worn over your boots to guard against harsh winds and loose snow. Besides offering protection, they provide an extra layer to keep your feet warm.
Cross country ski gaiters, being longer than boot covers, are tailored for use in deep snow commonly encountered during backcountry skiing. Featuring hooks, loops at the base, and a zip that extends up the leg, they are securely fastened for added protection.
