Question

What would you say, in your opinoin, are the warmest and most comfortable ski boots?

Answer 1

whichever boot fits and feels the best on YOUR feet

I love my atomic hawks...they have all the characteristics of a high performance race boot but with a thicker, more comfortable liner. the shell flexes which is suppose to enhance performance while skiing...not sure if it does but I do know it makes walking much easier

any boot even a race boot can be warm with the right socks if they fit properly. your feet will provide all the heat they need but poorly fitted boots will hurt your circulation and cause your feet to freeze. last week it was sub zero at the "Hole" but my feet were toasty warm with just a thin pair of ski socks

Answer 2

I am of the opinion that boots, in general rank in comfort in the following manner:

Telemark...most comfortable.

Alpine Touring...slightly less comfortable.

Alpine...least comfortable.

I am currently using a professionally fitted Garmont Syner-G telemark boot. They are the most comfortable boots I've used in 20 years.

I absolutely hate wearing Alpine boots now. Telemark boots are so much better. The bellowed toe allows for easy walking and because I can step normally, I don't sound like Frankenstein when moving about the ski lodge or walking to the slopes from my car. Plus...the soles are lugged, Vibram rubber, so I don't slip on the ice and snow the way I do in Alpine boots.

Yeah...I know it's not the answer you want, but Telemarkers will have to agree with me.

Answer 3

The most comfortable boots are the ones which fit your feet the best, allow for a pair of socks to keep your feet warm.  Some boots use a battery to help heat the ski boots.  As to a brand, you must try several different pair at your local ski shop. Allow 4 hours to do the shopping for a proper fit.

Answer 4

Lange! THeir warm and very comfortable. I sometime prefer them over sneekers! If not lange try dynastar.com.

Answer 5

Just a thought here.  If your looking for warmth, try adding some boot warmers to your boots.  My feet hurt they get so cold until I started using some (I have Reynaud's Syndrome).  There appear to be 2 companies making them - Therm-ic, and Hottronic.  Check your local ski shop or cozywinters.com.  As for comfort, most entry level boots will be more flexible and comfy, but try on a number and find what you like best.
