Ski boots for men: rock the slopes

The most important thing about ski boots for men is the fit. There is a widespread misconception that you can somehow get any ski boots to fit with buckles. However, this is not the case. You should take your time and test your new ski boots for men to see if they really fit your feet. If you still feel comfortable in them after half an hour, then you've found the right boots.

Almost all ski boots for men now offer the option of adapting the inner shoe exactly to your foot shape. The names vary, but the method is almost always the same: Thermoforming ensures a customised fit.

Ski boots for men - from comfort to freeride

Now, however, the first thing to do is to choose the right type of ski boots. One thing is particularly important here: are you more of a beginner or are you a racer? Are you perhaps more of a connoisseur type and prefer the blue and red slopes? A freestyle skier needs different ski boots than a touring skier.

You can recognise good ski boots for the respective requirements by the following features:

• Comfort ski boots for men - simply ideal for connoisseurs and as entry-level ski boots. These ski boots are light, comfortable, warm and soft.
• All-rounder - for advanced skiers who like to ski fast but don't think much of speeding. All-round ski boots for men offer an optimal compromise between comfort and racer boots. The comfortable inner shoe ensures comfort, while the slightly harder outer shell transmits power more directly to the skis.
• Performance ski boots - do you love speed and high speed? Then racer or performance boots are just the thing for you. The outer shell is very firm and the flex is very high. Your skiing commands are pulsed to the ski without any loss of power. The thin inner shoe is also relatively firm.
• Freeride shoes - pure freedom! If you love freestyle on and off the slopes, you need optimum manoeuvrability and good damping on the inside. Freestylers have to be able to withstand a lot of bumps and impacts from below. That's why there are special freeride ski boots.
• Ski touring boots - those who climb the mountain under their own steam need ski boots for men that offer ideal conditions both uphill and downhill. On the ascent, ski touring boots can take the forward bend without complaint and at the same time the shaft offers good support on the descent.

How to care for your ski boots for men

Ski boots can last up to ten years with the right care. You should always remove ice & snow from your ski boots after skiing. The inner shoe should also be removed for drying and airing. This protects the outer and interior material. It is worth washing the inner shoes at the end of the season, or in between if you do a lot of activity. High-quality ski boots allow the inner shoes to be machine washed. Simpler models can be washed by hand. Spinning in the washing machine should be avoided in any case.

How to try on your ski boots

In order to find the right ski boots for men, you should definitely wear the ski socks that you will be using later. The ski boots are closed from the bottom up. Nothing should pinch from the start and there should not be too much air between the foot and the inner shell. You should always be able to move your toes freely. If you already have skis, stand with your ski boots in the ski bindings, bend your knees and lean forwards against the boot shaft. All should feel comfortable and nothing should pinch. At the same time, you should feel a firm grip.
