Accessories for Cross Country Boots

Care for Your Feet While on Cross Country Trails

Insoles specifically for cross country skiing aim to enhance comfort for your feet and boost overall skiing performance. Much like jogging, cross country skiing involves repeated movements that exert pressure through your feet to the skis. Insoles in cross country ski boots offer essential support as the skier's weight is distributed across a broader surface area. This alleviates sore spots and boosts efficiency.

An additional advantage of these footbeds is the reduced movement of feet inside ski boots. As you push forward to glide on your skis, these insoles ensure your feet remain securely positioned, with a contoured shape around the heels and arches. Without this snug fit, your feet may slide back and forth whilst you glide.

Versatile Use of Insoles in Different Settings

Some cross country insoles come equipped with unique features like battery-powered heated footbeds. Others use aluminium film or merino wool for superior insulation, yet most can be adapted for other activities such as alpine skiing, roller skiing, or running.

Opting for ski boot footbeds is an excellent choice for adding comfort when skiing. However, if your boots are initially too tight or loose, it's advisable to invest in a well-fitting pair. Browse through our selection of Cross Country Ski Boots.

Cross Country Ski Boot Covers Deliver Warmth and Defence

Known as Nordic ski boot covers, cross country boot covers fit over your boots to protect against strong winds and loose snow. They also provide an added layer to keep your feet warm.

In deeper snow encountered during backcountry skiing, cross country ski gaiters, which are longer than boot covers, are ideal. They feature hooks and loops at the base for security and a zipper that extends up the leg to the top.
