Ski boots are the most important part of your setup, so if you’re only just now buying your own gear instead of renting, this is the place to start.
In this video, Gearhead Hannah walks us through some of the common mistakes people make when buying ski boots—like going for a pair that are too large—and how to find the correct size (we recommend getting a shell fit from a boot fitter). We’ll also help clear up confusion around terms like ski boot flex, boot sole standard, and boot-binding compatibility.
