Buying Your First Pair of Ski Boots

Before You Buy Ski Boots


How about your experience with buying ski-boots???

Ski boots are the most important part of your skiing package.

The most important rule for buying that first pair of boots is go to a reputable ski shop, preferably a specialty store with experienced sales-people who are in the same time also a skiers. 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.

I have a lot experience with buying and recommending ski-boots… so my dear Readers if you have any question fill free to ask me. Follow my blog, post a comment and I will send you my answer ASAP.
Also let me know your details about skiing knowledge and what type of ski-boots you have and I will give you my advice and suggestion….



Not all boots are created equal. Some brands have wider widths, others are larger or smaller. Try your boots on with the socks that you will be wearing during 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. Try boots on later in the day because your feet tend to swell as the day progresses....

Ski Equipments

Skis & Boots

There is a wide range of ski equipments, for beginners or experts, designed for racing, jumps, off-piste runs, and all what a skier may dreams of.
The skis were invented in Eastern Europe about 5,000 years ago. They first started as a mean of transportation to cope with hard snowed areas and later on they became a sport activity.

Modern Skis are designed with a particular user in mind, both in terms of ability and Skiing style. Beginner and intermediate Skis are soft and forgiving, easy to turn and stop. Advanced skiers, for example, can choose piste Skis – stiff and shaped for grippy carved turns; off-piste Skis – wide with less shape for flotation; or freestyle Skis – twin-tipped for skiing backwards and with a softer flex.

Ski levels go from 1 and 2, real beginners, up to 3, those who ski parallel, getting to level 7 which are the professionals. For this, it’s absolutely necessary to go to specialized stores or make oneself advised by someone who knows about it. Bad choices can be a problem, not only you might not enjoy this beautiful sport, but you could be involved in a serious accident.

General speaking, a beginner should choose skis of 10 or 15 cms. Less than his height. On the other hand, the more experts use their same height measure.

For many skiers buying ski boots is fraught with problems as I know from personal experience. However today proved to me that it is worth taking the time to search for someone who is skilled and experienced enough to suggest the most appropriate ski boot for you and your level of skiing, AND have the skills to craft and tailor your ski boot to your foot.With the vast range of boots available from the many and varied ski boot manufacturers, the trick is to select a boot with a plastic 'shell' that matches your feet as a starting point. Small adjustments can then be made to the shell and liner for a perfect fit.A couple of visits back to the boot fitter to fine tune the fit will leave you with comfortable, perfectly fitted boots which will help you ski more effectively and will as likely as not, last longer too.

If you love to ski, then you owe a debt of gratitude to the denizens of Europe's Alps. After all, it was here that Alpine skiing as we know it was born and perfected. So, why not visit the home of skiing and enjoy?

So pick your preferred style of ski town (small village, large town, or small city) and foreign culture (Austro-German, Swiss-German, French-German, French, or Italian), and be prepared for a trip that is as much about fabulous food, rubbing elbows with an international cast of characters, and marveling at spectacular mountain scenery as it is about skiing.
