We are pleased to present the new technical manual for winter 2007/2008, for our Dynastar and Lange
products.
This document is designed to be easy to use, a document where sales people and technicians (beginners or
experienced) will find all the necessary technical information they need to answer any questions they have
or that they may be asked.
You will find all the precautions you need to take and the different stages to follow so that your assemblies,
adjustments, maintenance work and repairs are correct and carried out under the best possible conditions.
This document is an update of the previous editions; we recommend that you keep a copy of the previous
manuals to help answer any customer questions and to guarantee an efficient after-sales service.
It covers the technical aspects of all our product lines: Dynastar Skis, Dynastar Bindings, Lange Boots.
This manual provides guidelines for performing functionality tests and adjustments of the ski/binding/shoe
arrangements. Following these guidelines will help reduce the risk of injury from mechanical malfunctions of
the release binding systems.
However, skiing entails risks, inherent or otherwise. Injury can be caused by a simple fall, a collision with an
object or any other cause. Many injuries are not attributable to the bindings. Furthermore, even a correctly
functioning binding will not always release when subjected to stress, which can result in injury. The user of
these procedures should understand that following these guidelines does not, under any circumstances,
constitute a complete prevention against potential accidents.

Sharpening of edges
Definition :
The sharpening of the base edges is defined by three 3 criteria:
• the sharpening angle “A” = sole angle / side edge
• the edge angle “B” = sole angle / base edge
• edge sharpening = measurement of the edge sharpening

Base repair
For superficial scratches, complete machine overmolding of the base is
recommended.
1 - Shallow scratches or marks :
• Fill cracks with polyethylene using a base repair gun.
• Let the material set for 10 minutes.
• Remove the excess polyethylene with a steel scraper.
• Proceed by finishing the skis manually or with a machine.
2 - Deep gouges or torn away portions :
• Cut out the damaged part with a metal base repair template.
• Cut a new base piece with the same template.
• Spread glue on the new piece (recommendation: Loctite ® 406 or slow
Araldite ®).
• Inset the new piece and clamp it (use wax paper to keep the glue from
sticking to the clamp).
• Proceed by finishing the skis manually or with a machine.
Instructions :
1 – Check that the ski can indeed be repaired.
2 – Remove the bindings and clean the ski.
3 – Determine the length of edge that requires replacement (fig.1). Then cut
the base with the base repair template or a razor knife and a ruler, along a
length longer than the edge to be replaced (roughly 10 mm additional on
either side). Make a cut-out shape that is easy to reproduce (fig.2).
4 – Using the cutting disc, cut the part of the edge requiring replacement,
being careful to make a cut at an angle of 45° and to cut the edge between
2 holes in the blade.
5 – Delicately remove the edge using the razor knife and wood chisel then
sand the area (fig.3).
6 – Cut, adjust and degrease the new edge piece.
7 - Position the new edge piece by fitting it so that the edge is positioned
properly and is perfectly horizontal (fig.4).
8 - Apply the epoxy to the prepared area and heat it lightly with the heat gun,
making sure to apply to the entire section.
9 – Cover with the PE film and place the new base piece in position.
10 – Cover with the molding paper and place it in the gluing press (fig.5).
11 – Once the glue has cured, remove the ski from the press and remove the
new base piece.
12 – Re-apply epoxy to the area to be repaired.
13 - Place the new base piece in its position, with the rough surface inwards.
14 - Cover with the greaseproof paper and place the ski in the gluing press.
15 – Remove the ski once the glue has cured.
16 – Machine the sides and bottom of the re-glued edge locally.
17 – Flatten out the repaired area with the plane or the file.
19 – Machine and wax the ski.

Checks
Ski :
Skis are designed to include a reinforced area for mounting the binding
according to the ISO 8364 standard.
DYNASTAR recommends following the ski manufacturing guidelines in
regards to drill bit section and when to use a tab.
Boots :
Most current ski boots are designed in compliance with the ISO 53555 standard.
This standard defines the interfaces compatible with ski bindings.
Ski boots should have an ISO 5355 marking.
If they do not, they should not be used.
When a customer purchases new bindings, he/she must receive the instructions included in the binding packaging.
It is imperative for the technician to provide the customer with a signed and dated adjustment data sheet (included in the instructions supplied with every
pair of bindings) or a signed form completed by the shop comprising the adjustments and tests performed.
BINDING
No bindings will operate correctly with boots which do not comply with
current international standards, i.e. ISO standard 5355 for ski boots for
adults and children and ISO 8364 for skis.
In your capacity as technician, it is your responsibility to ensure that the
skis and shoes being used conform to current international standards,
before proceeding to mount and adjust the bindings according to the ISO
11088 standard.
As the technician, you are responsible for checking compliance with the
standard before assembly and adjustment.
Otherwise, DYNASTAR could not guaranty the right functionning of its
bindings.
All DYNASTAR bindings and all bindings with DYNASTAR brand lifters have
been designed and produced in compliance with standards, particularly
concerning ski brakes, ski braking efficiency and resistance to screw pull
out.
The use of double lifter plates or unsuitable lifter plates (excessively high,
for example ...) may not comply with current standards.
We would also like to point out that equipment performance depends on
strictly complying with the assembly instructions supplied to retailers with
the bindings and lifter plates.
The technician who assembles the bindings must not mix parts from different products. Products can be repaired only by specialized technicians
with original parts supplied by Dynastar’s after sales service.
In all cases, the retailer must check that the products comply with the
requirements of standard 11088, particularly when carrying out release
measurements on the ski/boot/binding – see procedure on page 33 -

Assembly of bindings
Caution
Update of the ISO 8364 standard (June 2007 version)
ISO 8364
The ISO 8634 standard specifies the maintenance requirements and the test
methods relating to the binding mounting area of alpine skis.
The former standard used the length of the ski to determine the ski group
(adult/junior/child).
In the new standard, the skier’s weight is used to determine the ski group,
which corresponds to the screw location length.
To guarantee the safety parameters (which is to say the screws’ resistance
to wrenching), skiers must use skis of groups 1 to 4 according to the weight
of the skier.
Example :
A 40kg child can use a ski with group 1, 2 or 3 characteristics, but not a ski
marked as G4.

Templates
BINDING
Choosing the template
The template is only required for skis that are not provided with pre-drilled
interfaces delivered with the skis.
The template is essential to ensure that the ski bindings have been assembled correctly in the right place.
The template is essential for correctly mounting the bindings in the right
place on the ski.
Check the table opposite to choose the right template.
Dynastar has developed two new templates, Adult ref. FC6F003 and Junior
ref. FC6F018, to replace the old metal templates.
The new Adult heel-piece template is designed to mount bindings on skis
that can be up to 132 mm wide, on the assembly area.
The new templates are chosen and used in the same way as the old ones.
All the adult templates by DYNASTAR are fitted with interchangeable rubber
tips that make it possible to adapt them to all ski widths (Fig.1).
New template:
1- Large tips inwards for drilling skis with a width between 57 mm and 117
mm.
2- Large tips outwards for drilling skis with a width between 72 mm and 132
mm.
Old template:
1- Large tips inwards for drilling skis with a width between 60 mm and 80
mm.
2- Large tips outwards for drilling skis with a width between 75 mm and 97
mm.

Drilling
Choice of drill bit :
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the choice of the diameter
and depth of drilling.
• Otherwise, use the indications in the table opposite.
Drilling :
•Before drilling, check again that the bit is not too long.
• Drill the corresponding holes in the toe and heel through the bushes of the
gauge, pressing moderately on the drill.
• Always be sure to drill a hole deep enough to take the entire length of the
screw. Otherwise, there is a risk of damage to the ski sole.
• make sure the drill bit has bevelled the edges of the holes.
• after drilling it is essential to turn the ski over and tap the bottom several
times with the palm of the hand to remove cuttings from the holes.

Gluing
Gluing - Screws - Brakes
BINDING
It is recommended to apply a drop of DYNASTAR glue before inserting the binding screws. This special DYNASTAR glue allows :
• a lubrication of the screw during screwing,
• to be waterproof
• to prevent the screws from loosening.
• Fill each hole with a drop of glue.
Screws
• Use a Type Pozidrive® n°3 to mount DYNASTAR bindings.
• Check if the screws length is compatible with the ski thickness.
• For more information about the Dynastar screws to use, consult the spare
parts catalogue.
• At the end of the operation, check by hand that your screws are firmly fastened.
• All DYNASTAR ski bindings are delivered with their screws pre-mounted on
the toes and the heels.
• tightening
• toe-piece
• heel-piece
--> PX - NX - Nova - Team
• Place the screws of the toe provided of the sliding plate in front of the corresponding drilled guide holes.
• Gradually fasten and tighten each screw, until the toe and the gliding plate
(and the lifter, if necessary) are firmly clamped on the ski.
• Be careful not to screw too tight or the screws will be damaged.
--> PX - NX - Nova - Team
• Place the heel piece, fitted with its four pre-mounting screws in front of the
corresponding drilled guide holes.
• Gradually fasten and tighten each screw, until the heel piece is firmly
clamped on the ski.
• Check that the heel piece base sits flush on the ski.
• Caution: do not over-tighten at the risk of twisting the screws.
Mounting and removing brakes
All Dynastar bindings are supplied with brakes preassembled on the base.
The binding brakes indicated below can be removed for maintenance of the skis and are interchangeable to suit most skis and interfaces.
--> PX - NX - Nova
Montage :

Width of ski / brake type
Caution :
These widths, which guarantee the best ski stop operations, are the results
of tests which take into account different criteria such as the ski side line,
the length of the boot, the presence of the ski plate, etc.
In this case, it is vital that the technician checks the correct operation of the
ski stop, particularly making sure that it is not blocked on the ski/plate when
the boot is removed.

Lifter plate supplied in kit form
These lifters have through screws making it much easier to assemble the
bindings.
Determine the model to be used according to the Dynastar binding type
you chosen, with reference to the accessories part of this manual.
The kits come with one or several sets of special screws.
Mounting procedure :
• Remove the front and rear screws of the binding and replace them with
the screws supplied in the kit.
• Remove the binding Spacers if there are any.
• adapt the plate under the toe and heel, allowing the screws to protrude
slightly.
• The bindings are assembled according to the method used for a binding
without a plate (Cf. pages 15 to 17).
Lifter precision :
Using lifters and plates and in particular, combining them or superimpose lifters and/or plates, can result in the malfunctioning of the brake
system and disrupt the release.
If the original binding already has a plate, then don’t add one.
To check whether a pre-mounted system is compatible, press down the ski
on a flat surface, release it and check whether the brake raises the ski and
whether it is working fully. The brake must also be at least 30 mm longer than
the ski sole.
DYNASTAR is not responsible in the event of technical modification of its
products (removal of the lifter, addition of non-conform lifters, replacement
with non-conform screws, etc.).
Always use original DYNASTAR parts.

1. STo size the ski-boot, pull the opening lever (8) upwards, measure the size of
the boot then close the lever correctly in (Fig.6).
2. To enter the binding insert the boot toe under the toe jaw and press the heel
into the heel fastener system.
Confirm that there is a solid connection, by checking the mark (9) of the heel-fastener (Fig.7).
3. The track (10) has to be set at the same height of the shoe by adjusting the
screw (11). Feel by hand that the hinged-plate (12) can move. Pull the ski-boot to
the back and make sure, that the boot has a solid connection and there is no
movement. (Fig.8)
Release setting
After assembly the system all the functions must be confirmed.
In particular, confirm the following points:
2a. Ski with mounting mark (Fig.2)
Align the mid sole mark of the boot with the mid sole mark on the ski or, positioning of the boot to the cm-scale of the mounting-template. Adjust this scale with
the mounting-template to the assembly marking of the ski.
2b. Ski without assembly marking
Find out the middle of the ski and mark it. Position the mounting-template in such
a way, that the boot toe marking is aligned with the middle of the ski.
3. First screw the climbing-aid (1) on the ski (use ski bind glue when installing the
screws).
• Control if the shock-absorbers (2 and 3) are correctly mounted on the front plate
(4)(Fig.3).
• Bring the binding back towards the climbing-aid than first put the front screws
on, than the back ones.
Insert the screws with 5 Nm of torque.
4. Clean the ski surface well, with mineral spirits or a wax removed. The surface
has to be clean, dry and without oil.
• Pull up carefully the frontal plate (4), pull away the cover (5) and press the
frontal plate with 50 lbs or pressure for a few seconds on the ski.
The Binding is correctly mounted if the double profile (6) is centered in the middle of the climbing-aid and the mark (7) matches (+/- 1.5 mm) (Fig.5).

• Confirm that the mounting mark on the boot alignes with the mounting mark
on the ski.
• Height adjustment of the toe-piece
• Correct forward pressure of the heel-piece
• Check the bolt under heel-piece
• Function of the sliding plate
• Resetting of the toe in the neutral position for release (approx. 1 cm)
• Change-over climbing assistance, climbing function, bolt device in departure position.
• Confirm that the ski brakes work
• Confirm the performance of the release setting with a mechanical testing
device
If the right and left toe release is not symetrical
• Inspect the boot sole for contamination or wear
• Inspect binding interface for contamination, glue or freezing up
• Check height adjustmenting of the toe piece
• Forward pressure of heel piece.
• Check function of the sliding plate
• Check if binding shows any faults
• Check whether that ski boot sole meets ISO standard 9523 or 5355

It is the responsibility of the skier to determine his skier-type classification into the 3 main categories : 1, 2 and 3.
The parameters are explained in the standards mentioned below.
Skier type 1
Release value adjustement
• The adjustment of the release value is shown in the toe and heel windows
• The given values by the adjustment chart are pre-setting values.
• To check the tripping torque, it is highly advisable to use a measurement apparatus (cf. ISO 11110).
- Skis without taking risks.
- Prefers slow speeds.
- Chooses low gradiant to
medium slopes.
- Make-do level, with poor
physical condition.
- Good skier, supple and smooth
style, privileging safety
- Uses lower hardness settings
than average. Corresponds to
an increased risk of inadvertent
tripping so as to increase the
tripping capacity in case of fall.
Skier de type 2
- Make-do level with good
physical condition.
- Prefers various speeds.
- Skis on different types of
surfaces including the more
difficult slopes.
- Any skier not forming part of
the other descriptions.
Skier de type 3
- Aggressive skier (determined
skiing)
- Usually skis at high speed.
- Prefers medium to steep
slopes.
- Uses a higher than average
hardness setting. This
corresponds to less tripping
capacity in case of fall and
decreases the risk of
inadvertent tripping.
However, 2 additional types exist for personalized settings :
• Skier type 1 - :
- Skier wanting lower hardness settings than type 1.
- Recommended for beginners aged under 25
• Skier type 3+ :
- Very skilled skier on difficult surfaces.
- Skier wanting higher hardness setting than type 3.
Note : The skier type does not have the same meaning as the skier level. For instance, a good skier who skis on every type of surface but is not particularly aggressive could use a Type 2 setting.
Age of the skier :
• For skiers aged 50 and more, go up one line.
• For skiers aged 10 and under, go up one line.
--> Adjusting procedure
It is necessary to record a number of parameters relative to the skier using DYNASTAR ski bindings.
• Using table 1, find the code for the skier. Locate the weight of the skier in
the first column and the size in the second. If these parameters are not on
the same line, choose the skier code on the topmost line.
•This skier code is suitable for skiers Type 1.
• For skiers Type 1-, go up one line.
• For skiers Type 2, go down one line.
• For skiers Type 3, go down two lines.
• For skiers Type 3+, go down three lines.
• Skier age: correct if necessary
31
• After determining the skier code, find the column representing the length
of the boot sole (in mm) of the skier using table 2.
• The intersection of the boot sole length column and the skier code line
gives the adjustment reference. Adjust the toe and heel accordingly.
• Caution, if the intersection of the correct line and the correct column is
an empty box, move along the same line and use the first reference you
find.

Release value adjustement
Table 1
Note : skiers who have satisfactory experience with lower adjustment values may request them.
Note 1 : for skier 29 lbs. and under, no further correction is appropriate
Note 2 : for skier 38 lbs. and under, skier type -1 is inappropriate.
Example :
Average skier, all terrain, Type 2. Weight 70Kg, height 1,70 m, age 30, sole length 315 mm. Find the line corresponding to the skier’s parameters (skier’s
code K). According to the level at ski, move down one line (skier’s code L). The sole’s length being 315mm, the initial release value is 6.

This inspection is obligatory whenever you mount retail bindings.
The inspection checks that all the procedures required have been applied correctly
and that the bindings will perform their safety binding mission to the full.

Visual check
BOOTS
BINDINGS
COMPLETE SYSTEM
Check that:
• Boots comply with ISO/DIN standard 5355.
• The boot sole has a correct shape that has not
been modified by wear.
• The surfaces in contact with the bindings and
glide plates are flat and clean.
• All sections are flat and clean.
• Boots comply with standards for adults or children.
• Never use children's boots with adult bindings
and vice versa.
Check that:
• Anti-friction and Teflon® plates are undamaged.
Replace if necessary. These components are
essential for boot/binding unit support and
release functions. There must never be dirt
between the boot/binding unit and the friction
plate.
• The release value scale reflects the skier's personal needs (see adjustment table).
• Release value indicators are present and
legible.
• The rollers move freely
• The brakes work correctly.
• Screws are not damaged, loose or missing.
• The bindings are compatible with the boots
(adult or junior).
• All surfaces are clean.
• If the binding is dirty, wipe with a dry or slightly
damp rag.
• If the bindings are correctly lubricated and not
rusty.
• Heel pieces move freely on their guides. If not;
lubricate with DYNASTAR grease or change it if
necessary.
• Never clean bindings with solvent or high
pressure running water.
Engage the boot in the binding and check :
• Check heel piece pressure release value.
• Check that the release mechanism is correctly
adjusted (see adjustment table).
• Verify that the release reference marking of the
heel piece is identical to that of the toe piece.
SKIS
Check that:
• Skis comply with ISO standard 8364.
• The top of the ski is not delaminated.
• The base is not damaged.
• If the sole and the edges are prepared correctly
• If the binding screws are adapted to the ski.
• Avoid mounting a binding if there are already
drilling holes less than 10 mm from the new
ones:
- Bindings could tear out.
- Skis could break.
Elastic travel test
Like the final inspection, this procedure is essential to confirm that all three system components (boot + binding + ski) work together correctly. It must
be done every time any adjustment is made.
LATERAL TOE PIECE TRAVEL
• Pivot the boot by hitting the toe end with a mallet without releasing the
binding.The boot must swing back immediately into alignment with the ski.
• If it does not, check that :
- Heel piece release pressure is not excessive.
- The sole is clean.
- The sole is not worn and complies with current ISO/5355 standards.
Release value test
After presetting the binding release pressure to the value read in the table using the indicator, we strongly recommend using a measuring apparatus as
stipulated in ISO 11110 standard to check the final setting.
FOR THE TOE PIECE :
• Carry out 3 tests in each direction.
• Calculate the average of these 3 values.
• If the average of the values for each direction is
within the control range (range determined by
the values located one box above and one box
below the reference value given by the table),
the results are correct and no additional adjustment is necessary..
• Example : for skier code L and a pre-setting of
6,5, the test range should be between 50 et 67
Nm and the reference value is 58 Nm.
• If the average is outside the Test range but within the In Use range (determined by the values
located two boxes above and two boxes below
the reference value), it is necessary to adjust
the release value to bring it within the reference
FOR HEEL PIECES :
value (screw the adjustment screw in or out).
• Example : for a given pre-set value of 6.5 Nm, the
In Use range is between 43 et 78 Nm.
• If the measured values are outside the In Use
range, follow the "Final Test" procedures and
repeat the measurements. If the results are still
not correct, do not use the bindings.
• Carry out 3 releases and calculate the average
value. Use the same methods as for the toe
piece to carry out the tests and settings.
N.B.: It is normal for adjustments to be different
between new and used bindings. Release values depend on boot characteristics and statistical data (geometry, friction coefficient, wear,
etc.).
However an excessively high difference in
measurements vs. the pre-adjustment values
displayed could be a sign that a unit is defective.
When a customer purchases new bindings, he/she must receive the complete instructions found in the bindings packaging.

These are the steps to follow when mounting and adjusting Rental – Demo2 - Quickset bindings:
• Inspections
• Mounting
• Binding thrust adjustment
• Release value adjustment
• Dismantling
• Binding - boot length adjustment
• Final inspection
Rental, Demo2 and Quickset bindings are designed to be used under the control of retailers. Should you sell any of these products, you must provide purchasers with the instruction manual.
On Dynastar skis that come with pre-drilled interfaces, it is not necessary to use the dynastar template for assembling the Demo / Quickset bindings on
these plates.
Demo2 assembly procedure:
• To position Demo2 bindings refer to the indications marked on the plate.
• Screw on the metal toe piece adjustment rail and its plastic plate with the
toe piece adjustment codes towards the rear.
• Screw on the heel piece rail with the lifter in the back holes.
• Attention: do not overtighten or the screws could work loose (Maximum
4Nm).
• Slide the toe piece with its base plate on the front rail until it interlocks
totally.
• Adjust the binding (see page 38).

Checking rental stock
BINDING
Retailers and rental shops must, in some countries, take into account the ISO 13 993 norm concerning sampling and control of the
complete or incomplete “skis - bindings - boots” sets for rental applications.
Since it is impractical to perform a full inspection each time a system is rented, a routine of preseason and inseason inspections has been
developed to verify release indicator accuracy, confirm correct equipment function, and assure proper assembly and adjustment procedures by the rental
shop staff. Fully implemented, the procedures provide rental shop customers a standard of care equivalent to that provided retail shop customers under
current ISO and ASTM standards. The program is based on the existing standards: ISO 13993 and ASTM F1064.
For more details, see the “Rental Ski Shop Practice – Training media” CD, which can be obtained from professional bodies.

Maintenance and storage
Maintenance and storage
Rental stock must be thoroughly inspected at the end of the season. This
consists in carrying out maintenance and, if necessary, repairs and preparing the equipment for storage during the shoulder period.
Below are the main operations :
• Closing of all the heel pieces (Fig.1 & 2).
• Checking of boot/binding contact points: no play between the screws and
components.
• Checking that the brakes are functioning correctly.
• Cleaning the boot-binding interface and the gliding plate with soap and
water.
• Replacing of damaged or worn gliding plates.
• Clean the rails with a wet rag.
• Clean the space under the heel piece body as well as the space under the
open heel grip.
• Use a DYNASTAR approved product to grease:
- the inside of the retainer and heel piece guides (Fig.3 & 4).
- the bottom of the heel piece body (notches) (Fig.5).
- the space between the heel grip and the body (Fig.6).
- the toe gliding plate (Fig.7).
• Reassemble.
• Store the binding in a dry place.
• We recommend that you do this twice during the season.
Cleaning and greasing procedure :
• For Demo and Quickset models, dismount the retainer and heel piece
bases.

Use Range
Note :
Never use hot water, pressurised water or solvents to clean the bindings. This is because using
solvents can irremediably damage the surface and structure of some binding parts by modifying
their technical characteristics. This will increase the risk of breaks or weaknesses or in the deterioration of markings.

Morphology of the foot
The foot, a complex structure made up of 26 bone segments, basically performs two important functions:
• it carries the weight of the body and spreads it over the ground.
• with its large number of articulations, it allows dynamic rolling of the step.
1
the foot is made up of:
Anatomy of the foot
posterior tarsus
• calcaneus
• astragalus
anterior tarsus
• scaphoid
• cuboid
• 3 cuneiform bones
metatarus
• 5 metatarsal bones
toes
• 14 phalanxes
The plantar arch
Its role is to spread the weight of the body and to
transmit impulses during movement, adapting to
the differing contours of the ground.
it consists of three arches:
• inner, which is higher and longer
• outer, which is not very pronounced
• front, which is transversal and smaller.
the weight of the body is substantially spread over three zones:
2
• heel zone: where weight is loaded onto the calcaneus
• 1st metatarsal zone
• 5th metatarsal zone
The weight of the body is distributed over these
zones as follows: 50% over the heel, 30% over the
1st metatarsus, 20% over the 5th metatarsus.
Under the weight of the body
the foot spreads as follows:
different types of foot:
• more than 5 mm lengthways
• more than 12 mm sideways
egyptian foot: includes about 40% of the population, with big toe longer than all the other toes.
greek foot: includes about 38% of the population, with a longer second toe, and the others
decreasing progressively in length.
square foot: includes about 22% of the population,
with the first three toes the same length.
3
Foot deviations
the foot can take on different postures:
supination: characterised by a deviation of the vertical axis towards the outside and excessive concavity of the plantar arch. This deformation unbalances the distribution of body weight on the ground and reduces the foot's
shock absorption capacity, creating abnormal internal pressures which can
lead to inflammation of the muscles.
46
pronation: characterised by a deviation of the vertical axis towards the
inside and by collapsing of the plantar arch towards the inside. This deformation frequently creates problems with shock absorption and alignment of
the tibia with the knee and the hips.
Foot deformities
flat foot:
arched foot:
due to collapsing of the plantar arch and
deviation of the vertical axis of the foot; this
deformity results in:
• structural weakness of the extensor muscles
and relaxation of the ligaments
• entire bottom of foot (footprint) in contact with
the ground.
due to contraction or hypertonicity of the extensor muscles in the foot
- normally associated with supination
- recognized by a "broken" footprint.
4
The foot in the ski boot
Essential to comfort and perfor-mance, fit depends on the following:
• selection of the right size
• correct wrapping of the foot (the form of the inside of the boot must follow the
shape of the foot as closely as possible)
• good closure with minimum effort and even wrapping
• good support for the bottom of the foot.
5
Perspiration
Under effort, the foot can perspire up to 20 grams of liquid per hour. It is
therefore necessary to wear a sock with a good combination of hygrophobic and hydrophilic fabrics.
The liner must be made of fast-draining and fast-drying materials.
6
Anatomy of the foot
fit
Temperature
Cold feet are often due to poor blood circulation, especially in low outside
temperature conditions.
The cause can be excessively tight closure or the fit creating pressure points
over veins and arteries.
7
Anatomical differences
between men and women
The morphology of the female foot and the leg has, on average:
• a wider calf
• a slimmer foot
• a narrower sole
• narrower heel and ankles

Shell and cuff geometry
Thanks to the particular shell/cuff structure and the use of multi-injection, Lange offers the ideal tool to best perform on snow.
the anatomical shell
The Lange anatomical two-piece, hinge rivet design most accurately complements
the
biomechanics of the foot and skier's needs. The heel is lodged in an anatomically shaped hollow for perfect retention. The ankle pockets are designed and
positioned asymmetrically.
The Lange shell precisely follows the anatomy of the tibia/ankle/toe, ensuring
perfect and unmatched natural canting. Using multi-injection technology and
different densities of plastic, the new Lange boots wrap around sensitive areas
of the foot that have been chronically hard to fit in years past. This technology
combined with Lange's new 3-fit system, means that Lange has a shell for virtually every foot on the market. And every Lange boot has Lange's superior performance. The 15° forward flex, together with the anatomical form ensures that
the skier adopts a perfect stance on the skis.
1
Structure of lange boot
biomechanical settings
Lange's anatomical two-piece, hinge rivet design most accurately complements the biomechanics of the foot and skier's needs. The boots are
designed so as to be able to adapt appropriately to the physical shape and
needs of the skier. This ensures that the shell and cuff flex forward correctly, under leg pressure, thereby improving control and sensitivity.
The insole
The insole enables the foot to rest directly on the shell and adapt to the
skier's foot shape.
This results in ultimate transmission of power from the foot to the ski, following the lines of biomechanical transmission of forces (heel, first and fifth
metatarsal bones). This gives skiers at every level immediate, precise control of the ski in all conditions.
The Energy Bar external support structure provides an excellent flex/torsion ratio,
which is able to enhance the shell’s response speed to driving impulses and to
ensure that the lifters are always maintained in the correct position and trim.
2
Shell/cuff synergy
The shell and cuff are designed to work in
synergy to offer the best combination of
progressive forward flex, lateral rigidity and rear support.
3
hinges
Anatomical-asymmetric position of hinges on the boot. During flex and
rebound action, the shell is able to follow the natural asymmetric movement of ankle offering more control and more sensitivity.
Instep overlap
Double front support and closure of the shell in the ankle area. Combined
with a specific buckle positioning and material hardness, it allows a perfect
wrapping and grip of the foot, especially in the instep area. By working
together with the V cut design, it optimizes the progressive flex of all Lange
boots.

Women’s models have a lower cuff to optimize the fit based on the morphology of
the female leg.
Women’s collar
Women’s models feature a special flared collar to ensure maximum comfort
in the calf area.
Warm Inside
Structure of lange boot
The ramp angle of the boot is constant, several degrees lower than our competitors. Also our forward lean is constant. Common ramp angle, proximity
to snow and centered stance delivers more sensitivity and a lower center of
gravity. This delivers perfect balance, reactivity and sensitivity.
9
This is an ambitious Lange project, already a patented prizewinner last season,
involving the introduction of a specific range of women's liners featuring goose
down. Down, the warmest natural material that ensures warmth, moisture protection, is hypoallergenic and, light weight.
Women’s liners
10
They are designed with specific women’s last shape molded directly in. The
new tongue has a specific construction; the cuff is lower and shaped.
The liner is comfortable and extremely warm due to “fleece” lining. Also
footbeds have been designed following the specific women’s anatomy.

The materials
It must be observed that there are no materials that are absolutely the
best. They must in fact be chosen to suit the structure of the
shell that in turn must favor certain characteristics.
Lange research has chosen polyester and polyether as the materials that
best suit the structure of the boot they produce; a particularly thick construction in fact requires the use of formulas that are not extremely rigid
but allow good elasticity and flexion.
The different range of hardness of these materials also allows the construction of shells with features that fulfill the requirements of the skiers
at whom they are aimed.
1
Materials / Fit
The most used materials are
nylon
polyester
polypropylene
As this material has a low specific gravity, it is very
light in weight. It has excellent mechanical characteristics as regards rigidity and elasticity, low sensitivity
to extremes of temperature, resist UV rays and is
therefore less subject to loss of color and other alterations. On the other hand this material has low resistance to abrasion and does not allow the use of a
wide range of colors.
A material of the polyurethane family with good
mechanical features (elasticity, rigidity), excellent
resistance to impact and abrasion, wide choice of
hardnesses, possibility of using many colors.
A less expensive material, light in weight and with
fair mechanical properties, but with low resistance to abrasion; it is used on models in the medium to low ranges.
polyether
This material has the same features as polyester but
is more stable in the presence of extremes of temperature.
Fitting
lange fit system: an ideal fit for every skier
2
In order to create products that meet the fit needs of every skier, guarantee
optimum performance, and deliver better skiing, Lange has developed the
"Lange Fit System".
This system is based on an in-depth study of the morphology of the foot and
features three different fit volumes. With this new fit system, every skier at
every level gets the most suitable fit and the optimum combination of performance and comfort.
When calculating correct volumetric sizing of inner base of a shell, it is
important to take the following morphological characteristics into account,
since they will affect performance and comfort:

bones, which must find a perfect fit.

8% roomier than the medium fit and 13%
roomier than the low fit. Offering total comfort
and incredible ease of entry. Ideal for all skiers
seeking comfort, performance and fun on the
snow.
Biomechanical functions of the liner
With the buckle closed on the first notch, there must be no pressure at all on
the instep, as this sensitive area of the foot is a parameter of vital importance.
Having made sure that the morphology of the foot does not require alternative
choices to get a good fit, the calf must not be tightly squeezed when the cuff is
closed. This usually happens if the boot is too big; try a smaller size. If the
metatarsus is not wide enough, beware, because in terms of comfort and
therefore restriction of the muscles and blood flow, this is also a parameter of
vital importance.
All these factors must make it possible to compress the foot by tightening one,
or at most two adjustments: this provides the stance required for skiers preparing to tackle demanding activities, also on difficult surfaces.
Consideration should also be given to the joint below the astralgus, in which,
through contraction of the muscle, a flow of blood is returned from the calf to
the heart. This area must be protected by both padding and arch support.
Collapse of the plantar arch in fact causes not only restriction of the blood supply, but also excess pressure on the scaphoid and locking of the joint, which is
subjected to various types of impact, which are passively transmitted to the
lumbar and cervical vertebrae.
All Lange liners are thermo-moldable
The duration of the thermo-molding process varies from 1 to 3 minutes,
depending on the construction materials.
Due to the new materials used and the structure of the internal padding –
which varies according to required performance – Thermo liners retain their
custom fit even after prolonged use.
They can, however, be customized several times.
4
Liners technology
It is through the liner that impulses from the foot are transmitted to the shell. A
proper balance between the pressure created by closure of the boot (and
therefore the ability to transmit impulses) and comfort (tolerance threshold to
compression and thermal sensitivity) is therefore essential. Low memory materials, for example, represent the best compromise between heat insulation
characteristics and the best mechanical transmission properties.
In order to prevent injuries and to ensure efficient transmission of power, the
foot must be compressed so that it can transmit the right impulses to the ski;
however, this must never be at the expense of good blood circulation, which
performs the dual function of maintaining a constant temperature as well as
evacuating the lactic acid produced by muscular activity.
A loose fit detracts from the ability of the foot to transmit impulses and will have
a negative impact on control of the ski, which will more easily lose direction
and trajectory, especially on uneven and hard surfaces.
In order to hold the foot firmly, there is no padding in the toe and heel areas, or
round the perimeter of the base, in the area which accommodates the sole of
the foot.
At this point, selection of the correct boot size, with the help of a measuring gauge
becomes vital, as do other essential factors, such as:
• heel: effective hold
• instep: adequate wrapping
• metatarsus: width
• calf: firm containment, avoiding any "tourniquet" effect.
If the heel lifts easily, the foot is not being held firmly enough and the effectiveness of the closure should be checked. If necessary, try a half size smaller.
WORLD CUP 150 Liner
This genuine race liner with specific construction designed by our Race
Department equips World Cup athletes.
The upper is made of Thermo Fleece, the tongue is equipped with an
adjustable Velcro strap and the tongue is lined with Lycra, for improved contact with the shell.
The rear is equipped with a fixed WC spoiler allowing the skier to get in an
athletic stance on the ski. Fit is customized with two side pockets (attached
with a Velcro strap) filled with a special material that quickly adapts to the
shape of the ankles and Achilles tendon. The WC liner, designed for skiing
pros, offers the following essential advantages: excellent support, adaptability and elasticity of the tongue, and precise transmission.
A pull strap at the top of the liner helps get the ski boot on correctly.

More comfortable liner adapts to a more forgiving volume, yet still maintains
its aggressive, high-performance character. The upper is designed with a
special PVC layer reinforced with resins to ensure abrasion resistance and
prevent heat loss. The tongue is lined with Lycra and the rear spoiler is made
of flexible material to improve freeride comfort. If the spoiler is inclined too
far forward, it can be removed at the Velcro interface, which keeps it tightly attached in the right position.

Materials
A number of different materials are used for the “soft” part of the ski boot;
these materials in particular offer:
• Comfort
• Performance
• Insulation against cold and damp
• Resistance to friction and squashing
The materials used by Lange are of various types having different physical
and chemical behaviours.
These different types of sandwiched and/or bonded materials form an integral part of the liner’s basic features.
fort effect on contact, as well as providing significant resistance to wear.
The fabrics used are tough polyamides (e.g. Rental liners) or polyesters with
carded (fleece) or microfibre finish. Various sanitizing treatments can also be
applied, either to the primary fibres or to the finished woven fabric.
Finally, sandwich constructions consisting of different low memory paddings
are also used.
insole
Consisting of heat-insulating “non-woven fabric” (e.g. felt) either coated
with resin or bonded with materials which reflect heat.
Also acts as the base onto which the rubber insole cover is glued.
upper
padding
The materials normally used for the collections can essentially be grouped
into three main categories:
High Memory: quickly copies the anatomy with good long-term memory (e.g.
FLO and silicones of various types)
Medium Memory: good adaptation characteristics over time and during use,
often suitable for thermo-moulding processes (e.g. EVA)
Low Memory: these materials deform, but only temporarily, and have excellent elastic and power transfer characteristics.
The most representative are polyurethane foams and agglomerates.
The hardness scale for all these materials is measured in value D, which
ranges from 40 to 150.
insole cover
In microporous material or synthetic rubber, its underside features a nonslip pattern or structure.
It also covers and protects the insole against the end of the boot upper and
against all the seams which shape the base of the liner.
footbed
Structure in:
• Thermo-moulded PE, often bonded to a microporous structure, covered
with MTP which is in turn bonded to fabric
• PVC foam with added elements which improve comfort for support of
the foot.
All footbed shaping refers to a normal foot profile!
The Energy Bar external support structure provides an excellent flex/torsion
ratio, which is able to enhance the shell’s response speed to driving impulses and to ensure that the lifters are always maintained in the correct trim
position.
Liners
This is the thickest part of the liner, with anti-wear and anti-squashing characteristics. It also acts as a support of all the external components.
The main materials used are:
PVC: making use of its easy workability associated with, for example, techniques such as high frequency and/or heat sealing
PE: on its own or combined with rubbers to increase comfort and mechanical properties. It is normally bonded with fabrics or, as in the case of Lange
top-of-the-range models, with aluminium films which provide excellent insulation, heat reflection and resistance to damp.
linings
These consist of fabrics bonded in various ways (generally flame bonded)
with MTP (Moltopren) or THW (Polyurethanes).
Their purpose is to smooth the anatomy of the padding, increasing the com-
Size scale
There are two different scale, USA scale and Mondo Point scale. The Usa one (7 mm for size) is more precise. The Mondo Point one is standardized at 10
mm for size, and gives more comfort to the foot. There are also different scales for man and woman; the junior scale is the same as the woman one.

skier's foot size and feel.
• New heel base for more power entering and exiting the turn
• Redesigned upper shell provides flex and rebound adapted to the construction of the latest generation of skis
• New EPD (Elastic Pressure Drive) sole to enhance the response of the
ski/binding + boot interface.
Suola EDP (Elastic Pressure Driving)
This new sole, especially designed for pro skiers, is found on the entire
World Cup line and the Freeride line.
• Base with variable geometry to ensure good ball/heel pressure, with a
thinner portion under the central part of the arch to ensure a certain
degree of elastic deformation in the turn.
• This structure prevents torsional deformation that can lead to a loss of
energy and balance.
• Sole pre-drilled to accommodate possible lifters (3-5 mm). Not supplied.
• New range of US sizes, with an improved size scale to meet athletes'

Easy Step & Protection
Provides maximum protection and total safety at the points where it contacts the binding. Provides maximum shock absorption and traction when
walking, and effective support of the sole. Easy to replace.
A new range of liners aimed at the recreational sector that keeps alive the
Lange ‘Flo’ tradition, providing effective and high performance wrapping of
the foot, according to the skier’s requirements.
A special, exclusive mousse with low compression memory quickly takes
the shape of the foot, protecting it and ensuring correct retention while skiing. The most valuable characteristic of this sandwich is that it resumes its
original shape after use and therefore remains unchanged over time.
A special spoiler giving a snug fit round the ankle, easy handling loops on
the tongue and an adaptable Lycra toe box complete the “Recreational”
features of these products.
Quick Set adjustable Catches
These catches can be moved to the desired position with a simple rotational movement to increase/decrease cuff tightness. Their travel measures 20
mm, corresponding to 3 positions of a conventional catch.
Easy in-out instep Catch
This specific instep catch patented by Lange, pivoting by 30Åã around its
axis, facilitates movement of the shell panels without hindering in and out
movements of the foot. In the closing phase, the mobile catch conforms perfectly to the shell surface without exerting any abnormal or painful pressure.
Flex Adjustment
With the new flex adjustment mechanism, the skier adjusts forward flex
according to skiing style, terrain, skier weight, etc.

Usage
For greater comfort, avoid putting on boots that are excessively cold.
For easy entry of the foot, pull the two sides of the shell apart, pushing the
tongue of the innerboot forwards, then slide the foot in, resting the heel
against the back of the innerboot. In the presence of the Ski/Walk device,
set the mechanism by turning the knob to the Walk position until you hear
a click, and push the rear part of the cuff back; then proceed as described
before.
Maintenance
In order to avoid damage or premature wear:
• Use only mild soap and water to clean the boots; avoid using any other
type of harsh cleaning agent.
• After use, dry the innerboots thoroughly, away from direct sources of
heat (radiators, open fires, etc.).
Before storing the boots for a prolonged period of time, make sure they are
quite dry, close all the buckles and put them in a dry place, away from direct
sunlight.
safety recommendations
Alpine skiing requires physical fitness, preparation, technical skill and caution.
To reduce the risk of accidents and injuries, to yourself or others, you are
strongly advised to observe the following:
• Carefully follow our recommendations for use and maintenance.
• Check toes and heels for wear to ensure efficient and safe operation of
the boot/binding system.
• Before starting to ski, always check that your boots are correctly closed
and that the bindings are properly adjusted.
• Never venture onto runs whose degree of difficulty is beyond your capabilities, or away from marked runs.
• Always keep strictly to the regulations that are in force in the ski resort.
• Always keep your speed and direction under control.
• Always proceed with care and attention.
Servicing and repairs
Specific fitting modifications
Sometimes you may come across a customer with a very particular shape of
foot for which the adaptations possible wilh shims or kit liner are not sufficient. In this case it is ne~ cessary to modify the shell. There are three possible ways of modifying a shell.
Grinding.
This is the best way of adapting a shell to accomodate small protruding
bones. However, care must be taken to avoid taking off too much material
and thus damaging the shell.
A maximum thickness of 2-3 mm may be milled off. Grinding is indicated
especially for modifying the area of the heel the toes and the sides where
there may be small protruding bones. Grinding allows a good job to be done
in just a few minutes.
Leave the pliers in position until the shell cools. The enlargement must be
made by degrees since it is not possible to restore the shell to its original
shape.

Heat modification with a hydraulic system
This method is suitable for modifying iahrgl surface (e.g. lengthening the
shell).
It makes use of a hydraulic oil cylin-der that operates by means of a pump.
After placing the pliers in position, heat the part of the shell that is to be
altered wilh a hot air generator.
The shell must be cooled with cold water or by leaving it for about 2 hours
at room temperature (20°C) with the mechanism in place so that the shell
does not return to its original shape.
When heating the shell with hot air care must always be taken not to melt
the plastic.
Heat modification with pliers.
This method is especially suitable for modifying the area of the ankle and the
front part of the shell.
Proceed as follows:
• Using a pencil, mark the point that must be widened. This operation must
be carried out with the foot in the boot without the liner
so that the point that hurts can be identi-fied precisely.
• Choose the most suitable tool, set it in the corrett position and screw all
the way down. The shell must be open.
• Slowly heat the plastic with a hot air generator (be careful not to melt the
plastic).

How to use the riveting machine
The machine works by means of a manually operated lever which allows
any type of rivet to be applied. For the various thicknesses of rivets different
sizes of interchangeable punches are available.
instruction for use:
• The machine is fitted with the desired punch
• Adjust the distance between the two punches (above/below) according
to the thickness of the part to be riveted
• Fit the rivet into the hole
• Fit the correct washer into the punch
Lower the lever until the rivet is totally applied.
How to prepare a racing boot
After sale assistance
Ski racing requires special modifica-tions for specific performance.
While all racing boots have the same design and structure some have been modified for stiffness and custom performance.
How to make a boot stiffer
Foot beds
To truly make a boot stiffer, the mate-rial structure must be changed.
This is best accomplished by reinforcing the upper boot front with an extra
layer of material.
Foot beds provide an opportunity to correct problems at the base of the foot
and provide extra comfort.
As in all fitting situations. We recommend the minimal correction first.
Reinforcement
Fitting foot beds for Lange boots
• Trace the shape of the upper boot straps with thin cardboard and cut a
template
• Trace template over reinforce-ment material and cut
• Sand off rough edges
• Heat reinforcement material to make pliable
• Rivet material to upper.
This will result in a stiffer material structure.
The inner boot board of the Lange boot is flat and therefore there is no need
to grind or remove an arch.
Measure the foot bed length to the same as existing insole and trim as necessary.
Riveting
Another option to change the design of the boot will be to place two rivets
in the rear of the boot, bringing upper and lower to a closed locked position.
Softening flex
At times offering increased or softer flex is necessary, for downhill or lightweight racers.
• Shaving the lower strap
Where the upper and lower meet the strap touches. Simply shave away 1 or
2 mm from the strap using the grinder.
• The V cut
When a junior racer has trouble flexing forward, cut a small V in the back of
the lower boot.
Make sure to drill or solder a small hole at the end of cut. These two solutions change the structure allowing the boot to flex forward ea-sily.

Solutions for customizing the fit
Customizing the fit you can solve the following problems:
Loose forefoot
Pressure on instep or instep bumps
cause: narrow foot
solutions: Tighten front buckle, Use heavy sock, Add shim to liner, Add shim
to forefoot of insole, Add low memory foam to liner
cause: high arch instep area, or pronounced instep bone
solutions: loosen instep buckle, remove insole shim to allow for more room,
remove insole and replace with arch support, grind inner bootboard, remove
material from tongue, pad instep.
Tight forefoot or compressed foot
Pressure at flex point or hinge of boot
cause: wide foot, or enlarged bunions on big or little toe
solutions: loosen front buckle, use thin sock, remove felt adhesive layer on
insole, remove material from liner, pad around little toe, use varus wedge or
footbed to stabilize foot motion, grind litile toe area, stretch shell.
cause: foot not properly positioned, prominent tendon
solutions: raise or lower heel, heat and spread tongue, remove foam on
tongue and pad, grind lower boot strap
Pressure on navicular
Pressure on inside ankle
(small bone above arch)
cause: large ankle
solutions: pad inside liner, use varus wedge to straighten alignment, mark
area of pressure and stretch the shell
cause: large navicular
solutions: use varus wedge of footbed, remove padding at point of pressure
and pad with donut, mark navicular and grind round area for bone, stretch
boot at point of pressure.
cause: tightness - large ankle or pronation
solutions: pad inside river, use varus wedge to straighten alignment, mark
area of pressure and stretch the shell
Pressure behind ankle bone or outside ankle
Cramping of foot
cause: pronation causing foot to move and little toe rub outside of boot
solutions: add varus wedge or bootbed, pad around irritated toe, grind shell,
stretch shell
cause: fatigued muscles, high arch or flat foot
solutions: use footbed, remove insole shim, add arch support, stretch boot at
midsection.
Shine bit or bruising
cause: poor pressure distribution, boney tibia
solutions: check on seating of tongue, use heel lift, pad on each side of
tongue, heat tongue and reshape
Pressure on rear of calf
cause: large lower calf
solutions: loosen boot buckle, add longer wire form, lightly heat rear spoiler
and stretch.
Toe jamming
cause : not enough room or foot slid-ing forward
solutions : check boot size, add extra shim to insole. grind toe area, stretch
toe box
After sale assistance
cause: anatomical shape of ankle and heel
solutions: check to make sure liner is seated correctly, pad rivet points, raise
heel, punch ankle area
