Soft Flex 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.

Classic skis or skate skis?

• Classic skiing uses a back and forward motion similar to walking.
• Skate skiing resembles the movements of a speed skater.

Get the right ski size
Find the ski length recommended for your body weight. Factor in skill level too. Longer skis tend to be faster. Shorter skis tend to be easier to turn on and control.

Do you want to tour or race?

• Classic touring skis are best for groomed tracks.
• Race and performance classic or skate skis are best for groomed tracks but built for faster skiing than classic touring skis.
• Metal touring skis are made for skiing out-of-track or on steeper terrain.
