Pjäxor are a type of ski boot designed for downhill skiing. They provide support and protection for the feet and ankles while allowing skiers to control their skis effectively. Pjäxor are typically made from a combination of hard plastic and soft materials for comfort and performance. These boots are usually equipped with buckles or straps to ensure a snug fit. Properly fitted pjäxor enhance stability and responsiveness, making them essential for both beginners and experienced skiers. They are often used in conjunction with skidor and bindningar to create a complete skiing setup.
