Ski Diva Extraordinaire
Booster Straps are a power strap that includes several layers of thick elastic (the number of layers depends on the model purchased). They are stock on many of the new upper level Nordica boots and are an add-on for any other boot. Here's their web site: https://www.skimetrix.com/Instruct.html
Here is their list of performance claims:
Installation was generally easy although we hit a slight snag with my Langes. The power strap on most boots are fastened with screws and funky washer nuts. Unfortunately, Lange rivets their power straps on, so we had to drill out the rivets and get new bolts and toothed washer nuts (to keep them from just spinning while tightening the bolt). Besides that little snag, the remainder of the installation was a breeze.
Based on my experiences with them this week....
2 thumbs up!
Here is their list of performance claims:
After lots of research, I bought hubby a set of Booster Straps for Christmas last year. He raved about them all last year and immediately transferred them onto his new boots this year. Turns out he ordered me a pair this Christmas, but they didn't come in until last week. He immediately put them on and I finally got a chance to both free ski and race with them on. I grudgingly have to admit that the claims aren't hype. Indeed, the cuff of my boots fit better and without pinching, the slight lag between leg movement and cuff movement as the cuff hit the stock power strap is gone, boot and ski response is quicker, and the Booster Strap allows me to adjust boot stiffness by changing the tension on the elastic without having any slack in the strap. I cranked them way down tonight for racing and my 100 flex boot felt significantly stiffer than it ever has before.Dramatically increases ski control!
