The Best Ski Boots for Narrow Feet

Not all ski boots are created equal, particularly in terms of width. Certain brands are known to run wide and others to run narrow. Whether you are an alpine skier, nordic or telemarker, there are certain brands better fit for certain foot shapes and sizes, and choosing the right boot for your foot means the difference in all-day comfort and coming home with sore feet. So if your feet are a bit on the narrow side, here are a few brands you should consider, based on your particular variety of skiing.

Alpine Skiing

For alpine skiers, Salomon is known to run a bit narrower than other boot brands. Salomon is a major boot manufacturer and offers more than 30 different boot styles for racing, all mountain skiing and freestyle for men, women and kids.
