Booster Straps Expert Strap 2025 Review



Newschoolers' Quick Review:

These are the straps I run. In fact, I've been running the same set since probably 2010, meaning they have outlasted probably five pairs of boots. My old set is still perfectly usable, just a little tattered at the edges, but I still was stoked to get set up with a fresh pink pair for this review nonetheless. This is a difficult review to write though, because to me, it's self-evident that you should be using Booster Straps. Seriously, go buy them, they'll change your life.

Out with the old, in with the new


Next to having well-fit boots, I think they are the most important part of my setup. I actually find them more important to my skiing than custom footbeds, though doubtless many boot fitters would disagree. I can relatively happily ski most boots with stock footbeds, but if I go without Boosters, I end up miserable more often than not. I especially notice them if I'm buttering, which I tend to do a lot, or if I land backseat. Without Boosters, I can more or less guarantee shinbang. With them, it's usually less bad or non-existent.

I tend to ride pretty soft boots too so the Boosters make a big difference. I use a 8/100 K2 Flex for 95% of days, but then stiffen them up with Intuition DH Wraps and Expert Boosters. It's a combo that works for me and the Booster is a huge part of that. It vastly improves the edging performance of a laterally fairly soft boot and just magnifies the benefits of the progressive flex. But regardless of your setup, if you're skiing park, these will improve your days on the hill, it's as simple as that. - @Twig


Brand Description:

More height, solid transitions, stops shinbang. These are the boosters for most park and freeride skiers. Practically speaking, the Booster Strap elastically fastens together the leg and the ski boot and provides direct ski control so the skis will react quicker. When used properly it provides for maximum boot performance and astonishing ski control, increases comfort and aids the prevention of shin bang and other boot maladies. It eliminates any empty space between the shin and the ski boot’s tongue.
