Cross-country ski boots

Choose your Nordic ski boots according to your discipline
There are two disciplines in cross-country skiing:
The classic or alternative step is the most traditional technique where you progress with the skis in parallel. Classic cross-country ski boots are lower to release ankle flexion
Skating. It is the sportier version of cross-country skiing. We progress by taking skating steps, there is no anti-recoil system. It's more physical than classic cross-country skiing but we also go much faster. The skis are different. We take them shorter, the spatulas are rounded. Skating boots are stiffer with a much higher collar to hold the foot and transmit impulses.

It should be noted that the brands offer so-called combi shoes that make it possible to do both disciplines.

Pay attention to the standard of your bindings when choosing your shoes:
For cross-country ski bindings and Nordic ski boots, there are two standards: one developed by Salomon with a large central groove called SNS Profile and the other by Rossignol, Fischer and Rottefella with two grooves called NNN. The strong trend is a convergence towards the standard with two grooves called NNN. Salomon now markets products with this standard under the name Prolink.
