Cross Country Skiing – Footbalance Lets you Forget About Your Feet
Whatever your preferred style, cross country skiing requires balance, endurance and well fitting boots. Footbalance custom insoles customize your XC boots for superior fit and comfort while supporting your feet properly for better balance, ski control and endurance.
Misalignment in the feet and ankles affects overall body alignment and skiing efficiency, negatively affecting weight distribution, control and power transfer.
Unsupported, misaligned feet turn inwards, making it harder to position the hips forward. The force of each push off or kick collapses the arches, especially in stiff racing boots. Uneven weight distribution along the feet impairs balance and can cause numbness or forefoot pain, and the feet fatigue more easily.
In skating it is harder to get sufficient power for each push off, and it is more difficult to get over the ski to make it flat and fast.
The classic stride kick requires more energy, and it’s harder to achieve an efficient body position. During the glide, the skis are always edging a little, slowing you down.
Get Proper Support and Alignment with Footbalance Insoles:
Footbalance insoles support your feet in proper alignment for improved control, comfort and endurance while giving your boots a perfect fit.
Our insoles distribute weight properly across the feet to prevent unnecessary foot movement, cramping, numbness and blisters. With properly aligned feet and ankles you can generate a better skating push off or classic kick because your power gets channeled correctly. Getting the right balance over the ski is easier for a good, smooth glide, and you can keep your skis flat and fast. All this adds up to better efficiency and endurance.
The Footbalance patented core flexes for dynamic support without excessive rigidity or painful arch bruising - adding enjoyable comfort to rigid carbon fiber racing boots.
Custom molded to your unique feet, Footbalance insoles personalize your cross country boots for superior fit, comfort, balance and control. Forget about your feet and focus on getting the most out of your skiing!
"For many long years I've had pains in my feet, especially in my heels. Previously I tried all sorts of aids in my shoes, but nothing helped. After starting to use Footbalance I have become totally reliant on them in all the shoes I use, especially in my cross country boots. Cross country boots are so stiff that here Footbalance insoles are superb."
