If you love to ski, let me explain some of the benefits of owning your own ski boots. The truth is, by owning your own boots, your skiing can really improve and you’ll like doing it more.
Your ski boots are probably the most important piece of ski equipment. They are the point where you body comes into contact with the skis that are moving you down the slopes (well, gravity helps, too). You need to be in balance to ski well and efficiently, so you need boots that better put you in balance from the get go. If you first need to muscle your way to get balanced, you’re wasting a lot of movement.
Rental boots are not made for you. They’re made for people renting boots and who knows who they are. Hundreds of feet have been in them, so when you rent boots, you are not getting a custom downhill ski boot fit. The best ski boots are going to be your own if you have them fitted for your feet and your body.
Going to a boot fitter will do wonders for your skiing if you are seriously out of alignment. Some people are born knock-kneed or bow-legged and some people get that way over time. If that’s you, then some boot alignment and canting can make skiing easier for you.
