SOMA-TEC Boots are different to conventional ski boots because of a unique stand position of the feet on the skis. The natural, offset V-position of the feet is retained and the body's centre of gravity lies directly above the middle of the ski. This means you have perfect power transfer, optimum grip and absolute precision.

Fischer Vacuum Boots by Paul Montgomery

I have been fitting ski boots since the late 60s. I have seen all kinds of changes in boot technology all in a valiant effort to make ski boots comfortable, but still hold the foot and ankle firmly in order for the customer to control their skis.
In my opinion, the key moments in the history of the ski boot are the introduction of plastic shells, buckles, liners that are separate from the shell, standardized boot soles and foot orthotics specifically for ski boots. I did not mention foam injection, soft shell, liner heat molding, or a host of other attempts as they either did not work or were minor improvements to the existing.
This fall the newest great innovation in ski boots arrives.

Picture a ski boot shell formed exactly to your foot. That is what a Fischer Vacuum boot does. The special plastic shell is heated to a specific tem- perature then compressed around your foot so the shell takes the form of your foot. The process takes only 30 minutes and the result is the most amazing thing I have ever witnessed in my 40 years of fitting boots.
Technology comes and goes in this business and when you see as much as I have, you become very skeptical. Fischer gave me a pair of these Vacuum boots last spring, late in the season, I had them “Vacuum” mold- ed in 28 minutes then got on a plane and spent the next 10 days skiing Whistler. I figured I would fiddle with them and get them perfect over the 10 days. I did nothing to them, nothing. They fit perfect right from the first gondola to the end of the 10 days. I hiked, traversed, skied steeps, ripped groomers, did it all and the boots were perfect, perfect ... did I say they were perfect? They were super comfortable but gripped my heel and wrapped my foot so I skied with totally confidence. Another amazing thing about the plastic, no matter how cold it got the flex of the boot didn’t change much. They didn’t get super stiff.

The 28 minute fit process went like this: I put my foot beds in the liner; I put a couple of pads under my socks where I know I have issues; when the shells were heated up, I put my foot and liners in the shells. We wrapped the shell with the compression bags and when the shells cooled down, I was done. When I put them on first day in Whistler, I was totally blown away by how comfortable they were and on my first run I knew Fischer had just changed the way boots will be fitted.
It made me sad as all the challenges of fitting the impossible foot, the fun of making sure my customer’s feet were comfortable, that the performance of their boots matched them, all the hours of fitting someone’s boots perfectly, all those challenges are now gone .... I was only sad for a minute!
