Alpine Boots

The best alpine boot is the one that fits your foot. Our fitters measure length and width, look at your arch and instep, and talk through how and where you ski before we bring out shells.

Flex should match your size, strength and skiing. Softer flexes are forgiving and comfortable for progressing skiers, while stiffer boots give strong skiers more power and precision. Last width, measured in millimeters, tells you how roomy the forefoot is.

Many modern alpine boots also have a walk mode and GripWalk soles, which make walking to the lift easier and work with GripWalk-compatible bindings.

Frequently asked questions

Do you offer ski boot fitting?

Yes. Our boot fitting team measures your feet and talks through your skiing to find the right boot, and preliminary boot work is included with the purchase of a pair of boots. See our Boot Rescue and boot fitting services to plan your visit.

Can you help with boots that already hurt?

Yes. That is what our Boot Rescue service is for. Bring them in and our fitters will look at where the boot presses and talk through the fix with you.

What should I bring to a boot fitting?

Bring the ski socks you wear, your current boots if you have them and any custom footbeds.
