The Elite cross-country racing skate and classic boots have been designed specially for cross-country skiers and biathlonists. In addition to an innovative lacing system and a specially shaped sole and footbed area, they are equipped with a minimalistically designed overboot covering the entire skate and enclosing it like a firm shell from the sole all the way to the upper edge. Made of waterproof elastic material, the one-piece overboot adapts to different foot shapes and sizes. Thanks to high-grade material properties, it possesses high torsional and lateral stability as well as a strong and firm heel grip. This allows the skier’s steering force to be transferred directly from the leg to the ski for more efficient skiing with less effort.
