Find the perfect shoes

Whether hiking boots or ski boots - expert Manfred Mucknauer from Bründl Sports knows his stuff, so that the shoe fits perfectly!

The most important sports equipment is definitely the shoe. If it doesn't fit properly, then skiing, hiking and biking isn't much fun. Get YOUR MAXIMUM pleasure and skill out of shoe fitting.

How to buy a ski boot

The shoe must fit & have the ideal shape for your foot. In order to not have to try 10 different pairs first, a 3D scan of your foot is made. Thus, the right ski boot can be selected for your foot shape.

Important information: How well do you ski? How long and how often? You can tell him about your riding style and with this information, Manfred can then choose the right model for you.

Now its time to fit your shoe! In the case of issues such as hallux valgus, the outer shell of the shoe can be changed individually. To do this, the shell is heated and adapted exactly to the shape of your foot so that there are no pressure points.

The inner values count: The reason why a ski boot is often uncomfortable and gets you numb toes or cold feet, is a bad insole in the ski boot. Firmly buckling in will press your feet flat and if there is no arch support, you are far away from a well-fitting shoe. “To prevent this from happening, we create an insert with a basic orthopedic shape. This is adapted to the respective foot and supports the natural shape, ”explains Manfred. Problem solved!

How to buy a hiking shoe

Where, when and how often do you hike? Are you a mountain lover and a peak freak? If Manfred knows that - he can choose the perfect shoe for you.

Ankle-high or low model? This is especially important if you are on high alpine routes or if you tend to twist your ankle quickly. For "normal" hiking trails, low shoes with a good profile are completely sufficient. They are also light and super comfortable. So the right model can be found quickly, Manfred measures the foot and the arch of the foot very precisely.

The size of the shoe is also important. If the shoe is too tight, your toes hit the front of the shoe and your toenails can get blue - nobody wants that. “We test this in our shops on a special test track. Here we can tell immediately if the shoe is too small and does not fit properly - guaranteed.

Top tip when you are in Saalbach: “If the chosen shoe doesn't fit, our customers can exchange the shoe promptly and free of charge. But that happens very seldom”, Manfred is convinced and clearly proud of his good knack for choosing the right shoe.
