Skate Rollerski Boots

Rollerski Skate Boots or Cross-Country Skate Boots?

Rollerski skate boots have much in common with cross-country skate boots, including a tall and rigid cuff for superior ankle support and a stiff sole for optimal power transfer. If you already have a pair of cross-country skate ski boots, they can also be used for rollerskiing.

In warmer temperatures, however, cross-country ski boots can be quite uncomfortable due to their heavy insulation. Rollerski boots are more suitable for these conditions as they are constructed from well-ventilated materials. Furthermore, some rollerski skate boots feature an open design around the ankle, enhancing breathability during vigorous rollerski sessions in summer.

Selecting Suitable Skate Ski boots for Rollerskiing

When selecting rollerski skate boots, it is crucial to ensure they fit your feet perfectly. This helps prevent blisters and stops your feet from sliding within the boots. Ideally, rollerski skate boots should be close to the size of your athletic footwear, though consulting size charts for the best fit is always advisable.

Also, consider the compatibility of the binding system. Make sure to select rollerski boots that correspond with the binding system of your rollerskis.
