There's
no substitute for good boots.
Proper fit, appropriate level of stiffness,
and comfort are essential for a great
day of skiing.
If you've been renting ski equipment,
at least consider buying boots.
Spending the time to find a skilled boot
fitter will pay off every day you enjoy
fun, pain-free skiing.

Steps:
1. Ski Boots have a stiff plastic shell designed to hold your foot and ankle firmly in place. Choose a boot you like the look of.
2. For the best performance, buy the smallest boot you can comfortably wear and use
only one thin synthetic sock. All boots expand in size slightly after you have
worn them several times.
3. Boot prices range from $250 to $400 for beginner and intermediate boots, to $450
to $750 for advanced boots.
4.
If your foot is very difficult to fit or you
simply want the best fit possible, inquire about
custom fitting. Some manufacturers recommend
special molding systems that make the boot conform
exactly to your foot. All downhill boots are
compatible with all downhill bindings. Expect
to pay $200 or more on top of the standard price
for custom boots.
