Technical setup
Key specifications
Application
Place directly on the sensitive area
Position the gel protector before putting on the ski sock. The sock holds it flat against the skin. Make sure the pad does not fold or create a new pressure ridge.
When bootfitting makes more sense
Persistent pressure needs a cause-based solution
If the same spot hurts repeatedly, the boot shell, liner, foot position and sock thickness should be checked together. A protector is best for local relief, not for masking a fundamentally poor fit.
