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

Softer: Comfortable and forgiving; great for beginners or smaller skiers
Medium: Best for intermediate to advanced skiers; balances comfort and responsiveness

- 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
Gloves, mittens or a split finger?
- Gloves: Best dexterity for gripping ski poles, adjusting zippers or handling gear; not as warm as mittens
- Mittens: Warmest option but reduced dexterity; ideal when you don't need precise grip
- Split-finger: Balance dexterity and warmth; they keep some fingers together for warmth while allowing some dexterity
Find a good fit
- Aim for about a 1/4 inch of space between fingertips and the tip of the glove
- Check the brand's size chart; most brands use hand length or hand circumference
Features to consider
- Waterproofing: Keeps water out while letting some heat to escape
- Touch-screen compatible: Lets you to operate your smartphone without exposing your skin to the cold
- Glove leash: Secures gloves or mittens to your wrists so you won't drop one
Goggle wipe: Soft material on the thumbs let you wipe your goggles or nose
