Snowfeet Basic | Mini patins de ski

Snowfeet are like small skates you attach to your winter or snowboard boots. They let you slide on snow and ice, similar to skiing but with your regular boots. It's a fun and easy way to enjoy winter activities.

You can use any winter shoes or snowboard boots with Snowfeet. We suggest waterproof shoes that securely support your ankles.

You can stop using Snowfeet just like you stop with skis or skates. It's similar to a hockey stop. Stopping with Snowfeet might not be as easy as regular skis because they are bigger and heavier, but it's not too hard. To stop, make sure your weight is evenly spread on both Snowfeet. You can also slow down by using a heel brake.

Snowfeet is great for various activities like hiking, cross-country trails, and sledding hills. You can wear them with any winter shoes. Skiskates, on the other hand, are more professional and faster, mainly designed for ski slopes. They are made like skis, with a wood core, and can be used with ski boots or snowboard boots.

It's quite easy, similar to learning how to ski or skate. Many people actually find it easier. It takes some time, and you might fall occasionally, but that's part of the fun. Have you ever seen someone ice-skating for the first time? It's like that. You just need to keep your balance, which is natural for those who play ice hockey, ice skate, or use inline skates. You can move freely without heavy skis. Falling is usually safer compared to skiing or snowboarding. Most importantly, learning is easy if you enjoy the experience.

We recommend Snowfeet* for shoes of sizes from 6 to 13 US or from 38 to 47 EU.

If you have smaller shoe size, you should choose Snowfeet* MINI. Model MINI fits sizes 27-38 EU / US = Min. 10 (Kids Size) - Max. 6 (Adult Size).

Using Snowfeet in deep in powder is not a good idea. They work better on packed or groomed snow rather than in soft, deep snow. Stick to firmer surfaces for a more enjoyable experience with Snowfeet.

Most ski resorts usually let you use Snowfeet and similar "short skis" on their slopes, but there might be some exceptions. Based on our experience, if you act like you're using regular skis, people usually won't bother you. If someone does, you can explain that Snowfeet have the same metal ski edges as other skis, which is a common requirement for ski resorts. The cool thing about Snowfeet is that you can also use them in many other places, like hiking trails and sledding hills.

Yes, make sure to wax the bottom of your Snowfeet regularly to make them faster and stop snow from sticking. When you're on a skiing trip, wax the base every day.

Yes, they use the same metal edges found on skis and snowboards.

You can use snowboard boots with Snowfeet. They are 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 more 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.
