These are likely to be the most important purchase you make.

Boots should be a snug fit but you should be able to wiggle your toes.

If boots are too big, you will lose control of your skis.

If they are too tight you will cut the blood circulation off and your feet will go numb. You will also get blisters.

The type of boot will depend on your level of skiing.

Prices start at �40 for juniors ski boots and �120 for adults.
