Ski Boot Fitting: How To Try On & Fit Ski Boots

Whether you've just received your new ski boots in the mail or are heading to your local shop to check some out, there's no substitute for trying ski boots on and leaving them on for a while to see if they really fit. Explore our video tutorial and step-by-step instructions linked below to learn the basics of ski boot fitting.
With that said, however, we always encourage you to explore a professional assessment/fitting to get the best blend of both performance AND comfort.
Steps to trying on and fitting ski boots:
Wear the Right Socks: Always try on ski boots with your ski socks. We recommend thin wool or synthetic socks. Thinner socks don’t cut off your circulation and are actually warmer than thick socks.
Step into the boot: Fully undo all of the buckles and pull the tongue of the boot forwards - now you’re ready to step into the ski boot. It’s easier to do this when you’re standing up.
Buckle Up: Start by buckling the top two buckles lightly to seat the tongue on the instep of the foot. After fastening the Velcro power strap, flex the boot forward (hard) a few times with bottom buckles still unbuckled. This will pull your toes away from the front of the boot and push your heel deep in the heel pocket. Now fasten all the buckles snugly, but don’t over-tighten them to the point of discomfort. Keep in mind that your boots, at this point, are the tightest they will ever be.
