1. What I should know about shoe size?
Snowfeet*:
One size fits most, so that should be easy. We recommend Snowfeet* for shoes of sizes from 6 to 13 US or from 38 to 47 EU.
Snowfeet* Mini:
Special size for special people. Go for these if you're between 27 - 38 EU.
Skiskates / Skiblades:
One size fits most, yes, again. Have a look if you fit:
Ski boot bindings: 4.5-14.5 US / 36-49 EU / 22,5-32,5 MP
Snowboard boot bindings: 6-14.5 US / 38-49 EU
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. For people with small shoe size, we generally recommend using snowboard boots to make sure Snowfeet fit perfectly, although it's not necessary.
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 snowparks, 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 them only take your money and never deliver the counterfeit.
8. How much is shipping and what’s the shipping time?
FREE FREE FREE. Shipping is Free to most countries and takes 3-5 business days. We use UPS and Fedex for US, Canada, Japan, Australia and most of the world, and DPD and GLS for Europe. For a few countries where we don't offer free delivery, the shipping is relatively affordable and fast. The shipping time is usually around 4 business days, but it could be up to 8 business days, depending on the courier and the situation (COVID changed the shipping world). 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.
11. What is your return policy?
We give you a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee because we believe in our product. Make sure that the product is unused and in the original state.
