Tiverton, RI If you’re serious about skiing — or just want to make every run more comfortable and controlled — Booster Straps are a game‑changer. By replacing your boot’s standard Velcro power strap with a dynamic elastic strap, they deliver tighter control, smoother flex, and sharper ski response. The result? More precision, more comfort, and no more dreaded shin bang.
Unlike rigid Velcro straps, Booster Straps stretch as you flex forward, giving you a progressive, responsive feel that improves ski‑to‑boot feedback. They lock your shins securely, adapt to different calf shapes, and let you tighten far beyond what a stock strap can manage. This means better edge control for racers, more confidence for Freeriders, and a noticeable performance boost for weekend skiers whose boots tend to run loose.
Trusted by pros and loved by those in the know, Booster Straps are one of the easiest, most affordable upgrades you can make to your gear. Whether you’re chasing podiums, carving groomers or casually skiing, they’ll help you ski harder, longer, and with more control than ever before.
Booster Straps: Born from Innovation, Built for Performance, adapted for recreation
In 1999, aerospace engineer and passionate skier Ray Fougere transformed a simple idea into a game-changing innovation for the ski world. After years of coaching and observing athletes at the starting gate, Fougere had an epiphany: ski boots needed to be rigid for edging but elastic for forward pressure. Applying his mechanical expertise, he crafted the first Booster Strap in his kitchen using heavy elastic bands—designed to enhance energy transfer and responsiveness.
A trip to the U.S. Ski Team training camp launched the product into the spotlight, and elite athletes quickly embraced it. Today, Booster Straps are a staple across skiing disciplines, praised for improving boot performance and eliminating dreaded “shin bang.” From race courses to terrain parks and everything in between, Fougere’s invention continues to elevate the skiing experience for pros and enthusiasts alike
Now in it’s 25th year and 400,000 Boosters later the expert model has been adapted for use by good recreational skiers and aspiring racers. The mechanics are identical.
Built by science. Backed by athletes. Made for the mountain.
