Most of us don’t take the time to consider what goes into designing, testing and manufacturing the ski boots we put on our feet. There are so many factors to consider so I thought it would be interesting to chat with Christoph Lenz from Fischer about this topic. What you may find interesting in this podcast:- How a change in brand made a huge difference to Christoph’s ski racing results. - That some of the best WC skiers using Fischer are not in super stiff boots but rather prefer to be more dynamic and get that from some of Fischer’s proprietary plastics. - Properties of the Vacuum plastic Fischer uses. - Costs involved to create a new boot.- How the rail or lug of the ski boot changes the feel of your skiing. I found our talk really enlightening and enjoyed learning some of the finer details behind designing a ski boot. Let us know what you thought and if there was anything that stood out for you from this discussion.
