Photo reviews
Photos and experiences shared by contributors. Read below how we check submissions.
How reviews and confirmations work
We ask contributors to share a photo they took and their own experience. Reviews go through automated checks. Flagged reviews can be assessed manually. Approval is not a guarantee that a photo is unedited or free of AI generation.
- Email address confirmed means the link sent to that address was used. It does not prove a purchase or the identity of a person.
- Company management confirmed relates to access to this company page. A paid plan does not verify individual reviews.
- A review invitation does not independently prove a purchase. An order reference supplied by a company is not independent purchase verification either.
- Publishing a photo with a review does not automatically permit reuse in marketing. A subscription does not grant that permission either.

SkiMetrix, llc in the news
Recent updates and background about SkiMetrix, llc, summarised in our own words.
Booster Strap technology adopted as original equipment by boot manufacturers
Several ski boot designers have begun incorporating Booster Strap's elastic band technology directly into their boot designs as factory-fitted original equipment. This reflects the product's growing recognition as a performance standard rather than an aftermarket accessory.
Park and pipe skiers credit Booster Straps with solving shin bang
Beyond alpine racing, freestyle and park skiers have adopted Booster Straps specifically for their ability to cushion the shin during high-impact landings without requiring excessive boot tightening. The elastic properties distribute pressure more evenly than rigid Velcro alternatives.
From a kitchen prototype to Olympic training camps
The first Booster Strap was hand-made by founder Ray Fougere using heavy elastic bands in his kitchen in 1999, before being taken directly to a US Ski Team training camp. The concept was quickly adopted by elite athletes, forming the foundation of the brand's credibility.

Is Booster Strap a reliable webshop?
Booster Strap has been in operation since 1999 and is used by a wide range of skiers including competitive athletes. The brand is stocked by authorized ski retailers worldwide and has an active store locator on its website. Multiple customer testimonials on the site describe positive experiences with both the product and the company.
Where can I buy Booster Straps near me?

What does a Booster Strap actually do for my skiing?
A Booster Strap replaces the standard power strap on a ski boot with a dynamic elastic version that allows for a tighter, more responsive fit. This improves forward pressure and edge control, and can also reduce or eliminate shin bang caused by over-tightening a rigid strap.

Booster Straps are designed to replace the top power strap on most ski boot models and are used across alpine, touring, and park and pipe disciplines. The website includes installation instructions, and customer reviews mention use with brands such as Atomic and Tecnica.
