Skijaška cipela uz skije predstavlja osnovnu opremu potrebnu za skijanje. Kako su skijaške cipele pomoću skijaških vezova pričvršćene za skije, one prenose sve pokrete skijaša na skije i snježnu podlogu. Prijenos pokreta bitan je jer skijaš stalnim pomicanjem svoga tijela čini određeni pritisak na unutarnje dijelove skijaških cipela koji se zatim prenosi na snježnu podlogu. Na taj način skijaš upravlja svojim skijama te ih usmjerava u željenom smjeru. U prošlosti, alpski skijaši koristili su obične zimske cipele koje nisu dobro štitile potkoljenice i stopala skijaša te su uzrokovale ozljede prilikom padova. Međutim, razvojem skijaške tehnologije, skijaške cipele postaju sve napredniji i važniji dio skijaške opreme. Današnje skijaške cipele bolje štite potkoljenice i stopala od nastanka ozljeda te omogućuju lakše upravljanje skijama, a samim time i bolji ukupni doživljaj alpskoga skijanja. Suvremene skijaške cipele pružaju alpskim skijašima veću udobnost i toplinsku zaštitu tijekom skijanja, što je izuzetno važno jer u njima provode više sati tijekom svakog skijaškog dana. Nažalost, skijaške cipele nisu u mogućnosti zaštititi ostale dijelove tijela stoga današnji alpski skijaši najviše ozljeđuju koljena. Kako bi skijaška cipela imala svoju funkciju mora biti i odgovarajuće veličine. Ukoliko su pravilno odabrane, omogućavaju skijašima potpuni doživljaj i olakšavaju upravljanje skijama. Međutim, ukoliko je skijaška cipela premalena, dolazi do stvaranja natiska i žuljeva koji otežavaju njihovo daljnje korištenje. Suprotno tome, ukoliko je skijaška cipela prevelika, tada se narušava proces učenja, jer je onemogućeno upravljanje skijama. U slučaju lošeg odabira skijaških cipela teže će se naučiti specifična skijaška gibanja te postoji veća vjerojatnost usvajanja nepravilnih pokreta, koji će se kasnije jako teško ispraviti.
Abstract (english) Today, alpine skiing is a very popular winter sport, which is practiced by approximately 200 million active recreational skiers in the world. Ski boots along with skis are considered the basic ski equipment. Because the ski boots are attached to the skis with ski bindings, they transmit all the skiers’ movements to the skis and the snow surface. The transmission of movement is important because by constantly moving their bodies, skiers put a certain pressure on the inner parts of the ski boots and then the pressure is transmitted to the snow surface. In this way, the skier steers his skis and directs them in the desired direction. In the past, alpine skiers used ordinary winter boots that did not protect the skiers’ shins and feet and caused injuries when the skiers fell. However, with the development of ski technology, ski boots are becoming increasingly advanced and important part of ski equipment. Today, ski boots are better at protecting shins and feet from injuries and make skiing easier, thus contributing to a better overall experience of alpine skiing. Modern ski boots provide alpine skiers greater comfort and thermal protection during skiing, which is extremely important because they wear them for several hours during each ski day. Unfortunately, ski boots are not able to protect other parts of the body and today, the most common injury that befalls alpine skiers is a knee injury. In order for a ski boot to fulfil its duty, it must also be of the appropriate size. If properly selected, they allow skiers the complete experience and make skiing much easier. However, if the ski boot is too small, it leaves marks and blisters that make it difficult to continue using the skis. On the other hand, if the ski boot is too big, then the learning process is disrupted because it is not possible to steer the skis. In the case of poor selection of ski boots, it will be more difficult to learn specific ski movements and there is a higher probability of acquiring irregular movements, which will be very difficult to correct later.
