OutdoorXL BF Canting To Measure

The BF Canting opmeten from OutdoorXL is a tool used in the bootfitting process for ski boots, helping to measure the canting angle of the cuff in relation to the sole. It’s part of the boot adjustments category and is used by bootfitters to assess how your lower leg aligns inside the boot.

By accurately identifying any inward or outward tilt, this canting measurement step allows bootfitters to add or remove shims under the cuff to correct your stance. Getting the canting right can lead to more balanced pressure on both edges of your skis, which in turn can improve control and reduce strain on your knees and ankles.

Canting refers to the lateral tilt of the boot cuff relative to the sole. If the cuff tilts too far inward or outward, it can throw off your edge engagement and make turns less precise. Using a dedicated measurement tool ensures these angles are read correctly, so adjustments are based on solid data rather than guesswork.
