Not really, it is actually pretty easy. It is as hard as learning to ski or skate. In fact, many people find it easier. However it takes some time and you will definitely fall now and then, but that’s part of the fun. Have you ever seen people ice-skating for the first time? That’s what I’m talking about. You have to keep the front-back balance, so it feels very natural to those who play ice hockey, ice skate, or even use inline skates. You are able to move freely as opposed to wearing heavy clunky skis. Falling is generally much safer than falling with skis or snowboard. Most importantly don't forget that learning is effortless if you enjoy the ride.

Here's a tutorial n.1 and tutorial n.2.

For Snowfeet* models Snowfeet*, Snowfeet* Pro, Snowfeet* Kids, you can use winter boots or snowboard boots for comfort and flexibility.

For Skiskates, Skiblades 65 cm, and Skiblades 99 cm, you can use ski boots or snowboard boots, depending on your personal preference. However, for Skiblades 120 cm, ski boots are required exclusively. When purchasing these products, you’ll select the type of bindings (snowboard or ski bindings), which determines which boots are compatible.

You can stop the same way that you stop with your skis or skates. This is also called a hockey stop. Because of their size and weight, it might not be as easy to stop with Snowfeet as it is with regular skis. However, it's not really difficult either. Make sure you distribute your weight evenly over both of your Snowfeet to make you stop easier and slower. Additionally, you can also slow down using a heel brake.

When it comes to the length of skis, your height or weight is not that important.

Most ski sellers will tell you that the length of skis should be determined by your heigh, but this advise only applies to professional Ski racers. Most of us recreational skiers, who ski to have fun should only consider the skiing style they prefer, how much maneuverability and fun you want to have.

In general, short skis provide more fun and freedom of movement, they are playful, responsive, lightweight on your feet, easier to stop, and for many skiers easier to ride as opposed to cumbersome long skis. But you have to keep a front-back balance especially during deep carving. It's just that simple.

There are 3 main types of bindings:

1. Regular ski boot bindings

These are the standard release bindings. They’re pretty safe and easy to use, but they’re also the most expensive option and don’t fit shorter skiboards, so you can only get these with our 99 cm and 120 cm long skiboards.

2. Simple non-release ski boot bindings

This simpler version was invented because some skiboards are too short for regular ski boot bindings. Non-release bindings are also cheaper, pretty easy to adjust, tool-free, lightweight, and usually include safety leashes for secure attachment. Non-releasable bindings won’t release easily when you fall, which is why they are not made with skiboards of over 100 cm in length.

From my experience, if you prefer ski boots and don’t plan on winning the the Super G slalom,
these simple bindings are good enough for you.

3. Snowboard bindings

If you own a pair of snowboard boots or you just hate the uncomfortable plastic ski boots, which most skiers do, these bindings are right for you.
Snowboard bindings give you more flexibility while performing all kids of tricks, they’re super comfortable and you can walk with them anywhere without a problem, which makes the ski trip much more pleaseant experience.

Btw. other brands amateurly mount the big, clunky and overpriced snowboard bindings on the skiboard. At snowfeet we developed a unique snowboard bindings specifically designed for skiboards. They are affordable, easily adjustable to snowboard boots of any size, with an anti-slippery surface for perfect shoe grip. You won’t find such snowboard bindings anywhere else.

In my opinion, the snowboard bindings is the best type for skiboards. I love how easy it is to put snowboard boots on and walk with them, they don’t hurt like ski boots, and I feel more flexible during the ride. 

However if you’re used to wearing your ski boots and love the fast aggressive ride, go for the ski bindings.

Skiblades / snowblades are basically short skis. They are easier to balance than snowfeet and better for carving, landing in snowparks and skiing in powder. Compared to snowfeet and skiskates, skiboards are more similar to regular skis.
If you wanna try something new, but similar to regular skiing, skiboards are the right choice.

Snowfeet and Skiskates are skates for snow, a completely new winter sport called skiskating, which resembles skating on snow. They allow for new kinds of jumps, twists and tricks. Snowfeet are also more versatile, you can use them with your winter shoes or snowboard boots, on cross-country and hiking trails or on your local sledding hill and your backyard. In addition, they are also more affordable than skiboards.
If you wanna try something completely new and have fun above all, these would be the best choice for you.

You can choose between 3 different types of bindings. Basic, Standard and Pro X

The Basic bindings are the most affordable option, we made this one to make snowfeet affordable for all. This model is good enough for most boots but might not suit all the large snowboard boots.

The Standard bindings are the most popular option, they are durable and come with an extra strap, so they fit better with larger boots than the basic model.

The Pro X bindings are the best model, very durable, robust, comfortable on your feet and easily adjustable to fit any boot perfectly. These are also the most expensive option.

Skiskates is more of a PRO model, faster, and more suitable for the ski slopes. They are made with similar construction to skis with a wood core, and can be used with either ski boots or snowboard boots.

Snowfeet is the simpler, but more versatile model. You can take them with you on a hike, cross-country trail, ski slopes or just a local sledding hill. The big advantage is that you can wear them with any winter shoes.

Most of the ski resorts allow Snowfeet* and similar “short skis” on their slopes, but there could be exceptions. Our experience is that if you act as if you were skiing with your regular skis, no one will bother you. And if that happens anyway, argue that Snowfeet* base is made of the exact same metal ski edges as all the other skis, which is the most common requirement of ski resorts. And don’t forget the great thing about Snowfeet* is that you can always use them in so many other places, like hiking trails and sledding hills.
