Kids Ski Boots
Comfortable Kids Skiing Boots
Providing your child with a well-fitted, high-quality pair of ski boots can greatly enhance their skiing experience. Selecting the appropriate junior ski boots not only minimises any discomfort but also aids their progress and maximises enjoyment on the slopes.
Which Ski Boot Size Should I Get for My Child?
Children's ski boot sizes range from 15 to 27, reflecting the internal length in centimetres, commonly referred to as the mondopoint. It's important to measure your child’s feet precisely and choose their ski boot size accordingly. Many ski boots come in half sizes, such as 18.5. If your child’s mondopoint size is between 17.5 and 18.5 cm, selecting size 18.5 is advisable.
Categories of Kids Ski Boots
Kids Ski Boots with Front Entry
The standard ski boots for children, accommodating all skiing abilities, are those with front entry. Beginner models typically feature one or two buckles and are constructed with softer flex materials. Models with three or four buckles are intended for older or more seasoned children, and some may also include a power strap for a more secure fit.
Adjustable Ski Boots for Children
Adjustable ski boots are an excellent option for extended use. Depending on the brand, the boots can be adjusted manually across 4 to 6 sizes. This flexibility is ideal when children's feet are rapidly growing, or if you wish to pass them down to another child. These boots suit beginner to intermediate levels, though they are not deemed performance ski boots.
Junior Racing Ski Boots
Junior racing ski boots cater to children involved in ski races or participating in race training with a ski club. These boots offer a stiff flex to enable skiers to handle high speeds, and the metal buckles provide additional strength.
