本人右脚比左脚宽一点,脚面高,目前的雪鞋LANGE有点瘦,压脚面骨,不舒服,每次第一第二扣都是最松的。近来想败一双舒适些的雪鞋,适用于FREE&STYLE,但更主要用于MOGUL和雪道回转滑行,硬度最好可调80-120。看过几款舒适的雪鞋,Dalbello和nordica,穿上很舒服,但没有试过滑行。查看国外官网,发现不同的款式除了硬度外其实功能还是有区别的,有的更适合公园和U槽,有的全地域,有的FREERIDE等。查过一片介绍MOGUL雪鞋的文章(英文附后,感兴趣的自己看吧),上面的雪鞋硬度都很高,似乎更像ALL MOUTAIN。适合公园舒适但不知力量传递怎样?鞋子内的减震做的如何?这好像很矛盾,力量准确传递和舒适性不可兼得。用过的或知道的童鞋讲讲呗。
PS.去过北大湖看世界巡回赛的童鞋们,选手们的用鞋有了解到吗?
The Best Ski Boots for Moguls(1)
When intermediate skiers try to become expert skiers, one thing they often struggle with is skiing moguls. High level skiers can zip straight down the fall line, using their legs like shock absorbers and keeping their upper bodies still, but average skiers have trouble learning how to absorb the bumps. One reason may be their ski boots. Boots for mogul skiing should be more flexible than regular boots.
Salomon Impact 10
The Salomon Impact 10 ($599, 2010 prices) uses "Custom Shell Technology" to the help the shell of the boot adapt to your foot's shape, ensuring precise control and a comfortable fit. The My Custom Fit liner enhances the boot's fit. The sole pads are replaceable when they wear out, so you can use the boots for many years. The Impact has double-canting adjustments so you can align the cuff with your lower leg for precise energy transmission in turns.
Dalbello Krypton Pro
The Dalbello Krypton Pro ($729, 2010 prices) is a three-buckle design that maintains an even flex at all angles. The boot comes with two interchangeable tongues, so you can customize the flex to your needs. Forward lean can be adjusted to further fine-tune your performance. Two interchangeable foot beds let you choose between support and and anti-shock modes. The Krypton comes with performance heat-moldable liners.
Nordica Speedmachine 110
The Nordica Speedmachine 110 ($549, 2010 prices) brings true customization to the boot market. Using an Allen wrench, the Speedmachine's flex can quickly be changed from 110 to 100, so you can stiffen it for riding high-speed groomers and make it softer for bumps and powder. Adjustable canting lets you get the boot and lower leg in alignment. The Speedmachine comes with heat moldable liners and a Precision Fit foot bed to get your foot and leg into a neutral position for powerful turns.
The Best Ski Boots for Moguls(2)
What To Look For
A mogul is just a bump of snow. Most moguls are carved naturally by consistent turning in the same place by many skiers, but ski runs can also be machine-groomed into mogul fields. Many skiers avoid mogul runs because they are often steep and those giant bumps can be quite intimidating; but for those who dare, this is an area where your ski boots can make a big difference. Mogul skiing requires a lot of tight turns and moguls can be punishing on your body. Your boots should allow you to tuck in and absorb shocks as well as extend enough to complete turns. A boot that performs the best on the bumps can be described in one word: flexible.
Common Pitfalls
Keep in mind that flexible does not mean loose. One of the most common mistakes is choosing boots that are too large. Boots should always fit snugly and a boot that is flexible means that foot and boot move as one; if your foot moves around inside the boot it is not a proper fit.
Where To Buy
Any big sporting goods store that sells ski equipment or ski specialty shop will carry boots that perform well on moguls. Boot manufacturers use a system of numbers to rate boot flexibility which is a good starting point, but a skilled boot technician can better help you decide on the right amount of flex. Buying on line is convenient and often cheaper, but it is never to advisable to buy boots that you haven't tried on first.
Cost
Boot prices cover a wide range, roughly $200 to $1,000. Boots that perform well on moguls are probably going to run in the middle to higher end since good flexibility requires a superior shell design and buckling system as well as a higher quality of plastic.
Comparison Shopping
Any of the big name boot manufacturers will have a boot design that performs well on moguls. In fact the array of choices, from Atomic to Tecnica, can be dizzying. Doing some on-line or magazine research and checking product reviews can help you narrow the choices and pick a price point before you start trying boots on.
Accessories
Once you have found the right boot to tackle those bumps there are always accessories to make the boots even more comfortable and customized for your foot, such as shin protectors, heel lifters and warming systems.
Insider Tips
Ski-boot fit is such a personal thing with so many variables involved that if you have the time and opportunity, rent several different boots rated favorably for mogul skiing. Actually using the boot for a day is the best way to know if the boot has the right amount of flex to suit your skiing style and the fit is going to be consistent over time.
