Accessories for Cross Country Boots
Take Care of Your Feet on Cross Country Trails
Insoles for cross country skiing are crafted to enhance foot comfort and boost overall ski performance. Much like jogging, cross country skiing involves repetitive movements with pressure transferring through your feet to the skis. Cross country ski boot insoles support the feet by distributing the skier’s weight over a wider area. This helps reduce sore spots and enhances efficiency for skiers.
These footbeds also help minimize foot movement within the ski boots. As you propel yourself forward, the insoles ensure your feet stay securely positioned with specially contoured areas for the heels and arches. Without this tailored design, your feet might slide back and forth during your glide.
Insoles Are Versatile Across Various Activities
Some cross country insoles feature options like battery-powered heated footbeds. Others incorporate materials such as aluminum film or merino wool for improved insulation, but most can be utilized in other sports including alpine skiing, roller skiing, or running.
Ski boot footbeds are an effective way to enhance comfort while skiing, but if your current boots aren’t the right size, consider purchasing a properly fitting pair. Explore our selection of Cross Country Ski Boots.
Cross Country Ski Boot Covers Offer Warmth and Protection
Cross country boot covers, also referred to as Nordic ski boot covers, serve as a barrier over your boots against strong winds and loose snow. Besides protection, they also add an extra layer to maintain warmth in your feet.
Cross country ski gaiters extend longer than boot covers, as they are meant for use in deep snow typical of backcountry skiing. They feature hooks and loops at the base for a secure fit and a zipper that stretches up the leg.
