Perfectly fitted ski boots thanks to the Foot Scan service

When it comes to choosing your ski equipment, it's not just the features of the skis that matter. Finding the right ski boot is also essential for both performance and comfort. However, with the vast array of available models and everyone’s unique morphology, it’s not always easy to find the perfect boots on the first try. That’s why some of our INTERSPORT stores offer a useful, practical, and fast service: the Foot Scan.

What is the Foot Scan for finding your ski boot?

The Foot Scan service offered in-store couldn’t have a better name: using a 3D scanner, it precisely determines the morphology of your foot to then suggest the most suitable boot. For a ski boot to fit you perfectly, several criteria need to be considered:

• Length, of course, which corresponds to the boot’s size;
• Width, expressed in “LAST”, depending on the foot’s width and the level of precision required;
• Flex, or the stiffness index of the boot, which varies depending on whether you're a beginner, intermediate skier, expert, or competitor.

So, how does it work practically? Guided by a store’s technical salesperson, you just need to stand barefoot or in socks on the machine, which will scan your feet in a matter of seconds. It will then suggest THE pair of boots that best suits you based on your skiing practice (e.g., alpine skiing, freeride skiing, freestyle skiing, etc.). The ski technician will then bring you that pair of ski boots, and you can leave with them straight away. Without even trying them on, you’ll know that these are the boots tailored to your morphology.

What are the advantages of the Foot Scan?

If you have the chance to try the Foot Scan for renting or buying ski boots, you’d be wrong not to! This in-store service has only advantages:

• It’s a quick service since the scan only takes a few seconds;
