Thinsulate Downhill Ski Boots

Find the right size boot:

A ski boot should fit snugly and hold your foot securely in place, without causing pain or pressure points.

It's best to try on boots in person but you can also find the right size by measuring your feet and consulting the brand’s ski boot sizing chart.

Consider the last width

• Skiers with wider feet or those prioritizing comfort may opt for a boot with a wider last.

• Skiers with narrower feet or those seeking a tighter, high-performance fit will prefer a narrower last.  

Understand ski boot flex:

• A softer flex should feel comfortable and forgiving; great for smaller skiers or beginners.

• A medium flex (90-110) is geared toward intermediate to advanced skiers who want more responsiveness in a comfortable package.

• A stiff flex (over 110) is for strong, expert-level skiers who prioritize performance on challenging terrain.
