Snow ski boots are the part of the kit you cannot fake. A boot that is too big or too soft will make a good ski feel vague on the groomers at Thredbo or Hotham; a boot that fits will ski above its flex rating. This collection is Welcome Board Store’s alpine boot wall — Rossignol, Salomon, Head, K2 and Lange for men, women and kids, GripWalk soles throughout the current range. We ship from Mornington; talk to us if you need a boot fit before a Japan or Aussie Alps trip.

Skis to match: snow skis, men’s, women’s, kids’. Women’s-specific boots also sit in womens ski boots. Insoles: Sidas.
