Have you ever noticed the efforts of many skiiers with closing their skiboots? The buckles just don´t provide enough leverage for an easy closing. When I sat a few years ago in the ski locker room having struggles with clothing my boots I realized that I am not alone with my problem. I saw parents who helped closing their children’s boots and skiers who helped each other. Back at home I was working on a solution. I went to all sports shops around me and measured the buckles of ski boots of different manufacturers. My goal was to develop an aid which is compatible with all ski brands. In addition, the solution should be easy to handle, so that it fits comfortably in your hand and you can take it on the slopes. After several attempts and unsuccessful prototypes I’ve found the ideal form and applied for a german patent. The SkiBoot Butler fits easily on the buckle and provides enough leverage to close the Boots easily. It was tested by skiclubs in France and Austria. Especially women and older skiers like the littler helper. It was designed and is produced in germany. Meanwhile, the SkiBoot Butler has been sold over 130,000 times throughout Europe.
