Related Expert Advice articles
Find the right size boot
A boot should fit snugly and hold your foot securely in place, without causing pain or pressure points.
- Measure your feet and consult the brand’s ski boot sizing chart
- If possible, try boots on in person
Consider the last width
Last is the width (mm) of the inside of the boot at the ball of your foot.
Narrower last: Ideal for narrow feet or those who want a tighter, high-performance fit
Wider last: Better for wider feet or those prioritizing comfort
Understand ski boot flex
Softer: Comfortable and forgiving; great for beginners or smaller skiers
Medium: Best for intermediate to advanced skiers; balances comfort and responsiveness
Stiff flex: Ideal for expert skiers; prioritizes performance

What type of skiing will you be doing?
- Downhill skiing: Helps balance and time turns; most are fixed length
- Backcountry skiing: Adjustable poles let you lengthen for uphill travel, shorten for descents
- Cross-country skiing: Longer and lighter, designed to help you glide forward efficiently. Poles for skate skiing are longer than for classic skiing.
Sizing downhill poles:
- Stand in your ski boots on a level floor
- Grip the poles just below the basket
- Your elbow should form a 90° angle
- If the angle is less than 90°, try a shorter pole
- If the angle is greater, get a longer pole.
Basket type:
- Standard: for most conditions
- Powder: for deep snow
- Powder and standard: Interchangeable baskets
Where do you plan to ski?
Match your skis to the conditions and areas on the mountain you enjoy skiing. Your choices are all-mountain skis, powder skis, freestyle skis and backcountry skis.
Consider the waist width of your ski:
- If you ski groomers or are a beginner, consider a narrower ski—under 90mm wide.
- If you ski the whole mountain and prize versatility, look for an all-mountain ski, from 91-114mm wide.
- For deep or soft powder purists, opt for a ski that’s 115mm or more wide.
Find your preferred ski length
- As a general rule, your skis should reach between your chin and the top of your head.
- Length also depends on your height, weight, ability level, skiing style and terrain preferences.
Choose a fabric type
- Wool: Stays warm when wet, resists odor and wicks moisture
- Synthetic (nylon, polyester or acrylic): Ideal for sensitive skin, trap warmth and wick moisture.
How much cushioning do you want?
- No cushioning: Best for tighter-fitting performance boots that have a tighter fit or maximum ground feel
- Light cushioning: Shin padding with minimal cushioning on the balls of the feet, often with reinforced toes and heels
- Medium cushioning: Added padding for warmth and impact absorption; ideal for cold conditions or looser-fitting boots
Length
- Knee high: Most socks for skiing and snowboarding go up to the knees to help protect from shin bang
- Crew: Cross-country skiers and snowshoers may prefer shorter hiking socks
