FAQ
1. What about shoe size?
One size fits all, so don’t worry. However, we recommend Snowfeet for shoes of size: 6-13 US / 38-47 EU. Adjustable bindings let you attach Snowfeet to any shoe. If you want to use Snowfeet with small size shoes, select a different hole on the strap and adjust the bindings using a screwdriver. If you use large snowboard boots, you can replace the original front toe straps with extra straps. To avoid hassle on the slopes, take your time and adjust the bindings at the comfort of your home, using a screwdriver and a shoe you are going to wear with Snowfeet.
2. What shoes should I use?
Use any winter shoes or snowboard boots. We recommend waterproof shoes that fix your ankle firmly. Snowboard boots seem to be the best for ski slopes, but if you take Snowfeet on a hike or just to have fun on a ski slope or sledding hill, winter shoes are the most practical choice.
3. Is it hard to learn?
Not really, it is actually pretty easy. It is as hard as learning to ski or skate. In fact, many people find it easier. However it takes some time and you will definitely fall now and then, but that’s part of the fun. Have you ever seen people ice-skating for the first time? That’s what I’m talking about. You have to keep the front-back balance, so it feels very natural to those who play ice hockey, ice skate, or even use inline skates. You are able to move freely as opposed to wearing heavy clunky skis. Falling is generally much safer than falling with skis or snowboard. Most importantly don't forget that learning is effortless if you enjoy the ride.
4. How do you stop?
You can stop the same way that you stop with your skis or skates. This is also called a hockey stop.
Because of their size and weight, it might not be as easy to stop with Snowfeet as it is with regular skis. However, it's not really difficult either. Make sure you distribute your weight evenly over both of your Snowfeet to make you stop easier and slower. Additionally, you can also slow down using a heel brake.
5. Where to use?
Use them for downhill on ski slopes, in snow parks, on hiking trails, or just have fun on your local sledding hill. Snowfeet are best on groomed snow. Avoid extremely steep slopes and deep powder. Because Snowfeet are so small, they let you access areas like narrow hiking trails, that you wouldn’t be able to access whilst wearing skis. And because they fit into a backpack, you can take them pretty much anywhere.
6. Do all ski resorts allow the use of Snowfeet on their slopes?
Most of the ski resorts allow this kind of “short skis” on their slopes, but not all of them.
Our experience is that if you act as if you were skiing with your traditional skis, no one will bother you. And if that happens anyway, argue that Snowfeet are safe and the base of Snowfeet is made of the exact same metal ski edges as all the other skis, which is the most common requirement of ski resorts. And don’t forget the great thing about Snowfeet is that you can always use them in so many other places, like hiking trails and sledding hills.
7. Where can I buy Snowfeet?
The best place on Earth to buy Snowfeet is this website :) The shipping is relatively affordable and fast. We ship literally anywhere with the exception of PO BOXES. Or you can order them directly from us on Amazon. Just make sure to avoid counterfeits on the internet, they’re not only illegal, but you would regret paying for a cheap knock-off that breaks during your second ride. Some of counterfeit sellers only take your money and never deliver the counterfeit.
8. How much is shipping and what’s the shipping time?
Shipping is relatively affordable and fast. The price depends on the country you are from and usually it’s around $9. The shipping time is usually around 4 business days, but it could be up to 8 business days. We always try to deliver your package as fast as possible. Just go to the checkout, fill out your shipping address and you’ll see the shipping information.
9. Can I use them in powder?
Snowfeet are best on groomed snow. You can use Snowfeet on powder that is not thicker than +/- 10 cm (4 in). They are great on ski slopes, snow parks, sliding hills, or hiking trails, just not in deep powder. By the way, most skis are not suited for deep powder snow either. Additionally, try to avoid extremely steep slopes and ungroomed terrain full of bumps and holes.
10. Should I use wax?
Of course, we recommend waxing the base regularly to make Snowfeet even faster and prevent snow from sticking to the base. While you are on a ski trip, wax the base every day.
