How Should Ski Boots Fit

Introduction

Buying your first ski boots can be difficult, especially when you're not sure how to expect a brand pair to feel. We asked our Ski Equipment Buyer, Steve, to offer some expert advice on what to expect and how to ensure they feel as they should.

If you have issues with the fit, or it doesn’t feel right, try a different boot in the same size. Well-made custom-moulded footbeds will support and stabilize your feet in the correct alignment.

You can book a ski boot fitting appointment at some of our stores, or you can speak to us online for any further advice.
