5. Heel height and wear: Check this boot standard
with the same procedure used for the toe. The heel
posts (A 3) + (C 3) are located at the rear of the
device (see pict 29).
6. The marks “A/C” help to select a “Child” boot from
an “Adult” by indicating the standardized sole width.

NOTE:
Any boot which passes points 3, 4 and 5, as well as
conforming to the Visual Inspection Checklist, may be
accepted for use with TYROLIA bindings.
Boots which fail any point should be repaired or
replaced.
These checks apply only to boots used with TYROLIA
bindings. Consult other binding manufacturers for their
used boot specifications.

CLEAN VS. LUBRICATED SKI BOOT
TEST
This test is designed to determine the influence of a
given boot on the release characteristic of a binding.
It should be performed on boots not meeting all the
points of the HEAD-TYROLIA boot visual inspection
criteria, or if measured release values fall outside the
system “inspection” tolerance. It is seen as the “last
chance” for a boot to qualify before getting eliminated
from inventory.
1. Clean the boot(s) to be tested with soap and water.
Allow to dry.
2. Select an appropriate HEAD-TYROLIA “reference”
binding that has displayed release values within the
inspection tolerance on the HEAD-TYROLIA Adjustment
Chart. Clean the binding’s boot contact surfaces
with soap and water and allow to dry.
3. Test the binding and boot in Twist and Forward Lean
at a mid-scale indicator value (Only one direction of
twist is required).
4. In a further test run lubricate all boot/binding
contact areas with soapy water. Retest in Twist and
Forward Lean.
5. Results of each lubricated test should be within 20%
of the corresponding results when tested clean. Any
boot which fails this test should not be used with a
HEAD-TYROLIA binding.
