World Cup Race-Room Boots " Plug" Boots What does that term mean?
Ski boots are made by injecting plastic into a mold. The molds are made of two pieces. The outer portion of the mold creates the part of the boot that we see from the outside. The inner part of the mold represents the foot or inner part of the boot. This inner part is referred to as the plug. With race-room boots, the plug is smaller than consumer level boots. This makes the interior space smaller, the shell material thicker, and the boot more responsive.As the inside of the boot is smaller, the liner of the boot has to be thinner. This thin liner allows the skiers foot to be very close to the boot shell. The thicker shell material allows the boot fitter to carve and sculpt the boot from the inside out to fit the individuals foot. These boots are colder than consumer boots because they fit so precisely, and because the liners are so thin. Most boot fitters do not know how to fit these boots and cannot charge enough money for the boots to justify the labor. We are one of the only shops in the country to offer these boots to the skiing public. We buy them for racers, and especially for folks that have narrow feet that cannot ever seem to find a boot that is snug enough. We do have a full inventory including race room boots. |
