What are Ski Boots made of ?

Question

I just wanna know because I'm allergic to leather

Answer 1

Plastic is the most commonly used material. Depending on the boot, what kind of plastic and the hardness of the plastic will vary. The liners are made of synthetic materials as well, usually nylon, polyester, and foam rubber. Power straps on the boots MAY be made of leather, but most are a synthetic as well. This is only one part of the boot, located on the outside and chances are small you'll come in contact with it except when making an adjustment.

Some cross-country boots are made of leather. I can't think of which brands are synthetic abd which ones are leather off the top of my head. But you shouldn't have anything to worry about with most downhill ski boots.
