BOOSTER INTERMEDIATE SOFT

Booster Strap Intermediate Soft – More Feel, Control, and Comfort in Ski Boots

A good Booster Strap instantly transforms the feel of your ski boot. The Booster Intermediate Soft was developed for skiers who want more contact with the boot, a more harmonious power transmission, and a more direct feel on the ski, without making the flex too aggressive. This is precisely why this strap is particularly interesting for lighter skiers, juniors, advanced female skiers, and ambitious skiers in training.

Compared to a normal Velcro power strap, the Booster works elastically. It connects the shin and the boot tongue more closely, reduces play in the cuff, and ensures that the ski boot flexes more progressively. This provides more control in alpine skiing, more confidence on hard-packed snow, and a significantly more precise feel when transitioning between turns.

Technical Specifications

Why the Booster Intermediate Soft Excels on the Slopes

Many stock straps only superficially secure the cuff. They hold, but they hardly engage.

The Booster Intermediate Soft does things differently.

It improves:

• direct power transmission
• better contact with the boot tongue
• more harmonious flex
• smoother ride
• more control when edging
• less play in the upper cuff area

Lighter skiers especially benefit because the strap doesn't react too stiffly but rather guides the flex cleanly.

Softer Flex, but Better Control

The Intermediate Soft is not built for maximum brutality, but for a fine, controlled skiing experience.

This provides advantages in:

• clean pressure buildup
• better balance
• more controlled turn initiation
• more feel on the shin
• less abrupt contact with the boot tongue

From practice: If you want to make your ski boot more direct but don't need an extremely stiff race strap, this version is an excellent choice.

Better Than a Classic Power Strap

A normal Power Strap secures the boot cuff. The Booster works actively and elastically.

The difference is noticeable:

✔ progressive boot flex

✔ less dead space

✔ more feedback

✔ better power transmission

✔ smoother ride

✔ more control on hard-packed snow

Especially for performance-focused skiing, this is one of the most sensible upgrades for ski boots.

Ideal for Performance-Focused Skiers with Feel

The Booster Intermediate Soft is particularly well suited for skiers who ski with clean technique and seek a stronger connection to the boot.

Typical applications:

• ski club training
• athletic piste skiing
• technique training
• junior racing
• lighter ski racing
• ambitious skiing

It doesn't make the boot unnecessarily aggressive, but rather more precise and harmonious.

Differences from Stiffer Booster Models

Not every skier needs the stiffest strap.

The Intermediate Soft makes sense when:

• the skier is lighter
• the ski boot is already already performance-oriented
• more feel instead of maximum stiffness is desired
• the flex should not be blocked
• control and comfort should go hand in hand

For very strong racers or extremely stiff World Cup boots, a stronger Booster might be more appropriate. However, for many performance-focused skiers, the Intermediate Soft is the more comfortable and technically superior choice.

Our Advice from Race Sports

We recommend the Booster Intermediate Soft for:

• juniors and junior racers
• advanced female skiers
• lighter men
• ambitious skiers
• skiers with performance ski boots
• skiers seeking more feel and control

It is not ideal for very heavy, extremely powerful skiers who need maximum cuff tension in racing.

Why This Tuning Makes Sense

Many skiers buy new skis or new ski boots, even though their existing setup would perform significantly better with a good strap.

A Booster Strap ski boot setup improves:

• contact with the boot
• reaction speed
• pressure buildup
• stability
• control

This is a small piece of equipment with a big impact.

Installation Instructions

The Booster Intermediate Soft usually replaces the standard power strap on the ski boot.

We recommend:

• professional installation
• correct positioning over the boot tongue
• appropriate tension adjustment
• regular checking of the fastening
• adaptation to skier's weight and skiing style

A Booster should be tight enough to reduce play, but not so tight that it blocks the natural flex of the ski boot.
