Booster Strap Kid – The original Booster Strap for young racers
The Booster Strap has been standard equipment for many World Cup athletes and ambitious racers for years. With the Booster Kid, young up-and-coming athletes can now also benefit from the advantages of an elastic Power Strap system. Especially in alpine ski racing, it's often not the big equipment changes that make the difference, but the small details that improve control and feel.
Compared to conventional hook-and-loop fasteners, the Booster Kid provides a significantly more direct connection between the shin and the ski boot. Pressure is transferred more evenly, impacts are absorbed better, and the boot responds noticeably more harmoniously. This is precisely why a high-quality Booster Strap ski boot has long been a mandatory upgrade for many coaches and racers.

Why the Booster Kid makes a real difference in race training
Many junior racers use the standard hook-and-loop strap on their ski boots.
This generally works – but it leaves potential untapped.
The Booster Kid improves:
- direct power transmission
- better contact with the ski boot
- smoother ride
- more harmonious flex
- more control on hard snow
Especially with young skiers, there is often a small amount of play between the shin and the boot tongue. The Booster Strap significantly reduces this effect.
Progressive flex instead of hard stop
One of the biggest advantages of a true Booster Strap system is its progressive action.
Instead of abruptly hitting the boot tongue, the skier builds up pressure more evenly.
This leads to:
- cleaner turn entry
- better edge grip
- more control in the turn
- more comfortable ride
- better balance
Lighter skiers, in particular, benefit enormously from this effect.
More precision in racing
In alpine skiing, small details often decide hundredths of a second.
The Booster Kid ensures:
- faster ski boot reactions
- more direct impulse transmission
- better feedback from the ski
- more precise line choice
- more confidence on icy slopes
That's why Booster Straps are seen today from junior levels all the way to the World Cup.
Significantly better than conventional Power Straps
Normal hook-and-loop fasteners only fix the cuff.
The Booster Kid actively engages.
Advantages over standard straps:
✔ elastic power transmission
✔ less play in the cuff area
✔ harmonious boot flex
✔ better control
✔ more racing feel
✔ low additional weight
Especially for ambitious junior racers, this is one of the most useful upgrades for the entire ski boot.
Our advice from the racing world
From our experience, the Booster Kid is one of the accessories with the best price-performance ratio in racing.
We recommend it for:
- junior racers
- student skiers
- ski club members
- athletic children
- ambitious young skiers
Those who train regularly or compete in their first races often feel the difference after just a few turns.
Why the right accessories are important
Many skiers focus exclusively on skis or ski boots.
However, the connection between the leg and the boot directly influences:
- power transmission
- balance
- reaction speed
- feel
- control
This is precisely why many coaches and racers already use a Booster Strap in the junior category.
Use & Care Instructions
The Booster Kid replaces the standard power strap on the ski boot.
For optimal function, we recommend:
- professional installation
- correct tension adjustment
- regular inspection of the fastening
- adaptation to skill level and weight
A Booster Strap that is mounted too loosely cannot fully exploit its advantages.
