If it’s your first time stepping into ski boots, the sensation might feel a bit foreign. However, you’ll get more comfortable the more you wear them. Putting ski boots on with ski-specific socks can also make the experience a little more smooth.Before stepping in, loosen and undo all buckles then open the boot by grabbing the loop of the tongue and top of the liner in the rear. Pull those open and work the foot in from the top while standing up. Once your foot is in the boot, try and sit down with the heel butted up against the ground and the toes up. This creates more downward force on the heel so that it's snug against the back of the liner. Now, you can adjust the buckles so that it’s loose enough for circulation but tight enough to prevent your foot from moving around the liner.
