For the best experience skiing, you want your boots to fit snugly with firm pressure evenly distributed around your foot. If you feel a lot more pressure in one area of the foot, that may be a place an expert bootfitter can make adjustments to help customize the shell to fit your foot better. You want your heel held firmly in place so you don’t feel like you’re stepping out of the boots. For an initial fit, it’s okay if your toes are pressed up against the toebox of the liner as long as they’re not forced to curl under. Boots will pack out with use giving you extra room, so you want to err on the side of too tight. If you find a pair of boots that fit you perfectly out of the box, congratulations! But if you feel hotspots or your feet are cramping frequently, it’s worth taking your boots in to an expert bootfitter. They’ll have specialized equipment that can adjust your shells and even add material around your liners if needed to adjust the fit and feel.
