Ski boots are the most important part of your skiing package. Aside from the fact that you definitely will not enjoy your time on the slopes if your feet hurt or if your feet are cold, it is important to understand that your boots are the key to your skiing performance.

Buying Your First Pair of Ski Boots?

The most important rule for buying that first pair of boots is go to a reputable ski shop, preferably a specialty store with experienced salespeople who are themselves skiers. Better yet, search out a store with boot certified sales and service personnel. Either by reputation or, on the advice of friends who are familiar with your area ski shops, pick out one you feel comfortable dealing with. You want to trust their judgment as to the fit of the boots.

Not all boots are created equal. Some brands have wider widths, others run larger or smaller. Try your boots on with the socks that you will be wearing skiing. Ski boots are designed to be snug, so, you don’t want to try on boots with heavier socks than you will be wearing on the slopes. Experts will need stiffer boots than beginners, because they respond more effectively to the movement of your legs.
