Picking Ski BootsAny skier worth their salt will tell you that a good fitting pair of
boots is the absolute most essential piece of gear that money can buy. Both the performance and the comfort gained from a good pair of
boots greatly offsets their cost.
Every foot is different. When you see a review raving about a certain
boot, keep in mind that it isn't the technology that makes the
boot, it's the fit. So when looking into a
boot, be mindful of past problem areas. While it's definitely beneficial to try
boots on in a shop, most online retailers have very generous return policies that take most of the risk out of buying online. Also, keep in mind that wearing a
boot in a shop for 15-30 minutes doesn't guarantee a good fit either. After buying a new pair of
boots, wear them around the house (on carpet, so you don't scuff them or wear the soles) over a weekend, watch a movie in them, or anything to get a good idea as to whether or not they'll be right for you.
