By: Tess Weaver Strokes When skiers complain about gear, ski boots usually take the brunt of the criticism. Not only are each skier’s feet unique, our own two feet aren’t even symmetrical. Which is why generically shaped hard plastic boots can be problematic. Alpine ski boots are notorious for causing shin bang, aching arches, sixth toes, heel spurs… the list goes on. Add sweat, constant movement and extra weight, and it’s easy to see why alpine touring (AT) boots can cause even more problems. Everything from the perfect day in the backcountry to a much anticipated hut trip can be ruined by foot pain, so it’s crucial to know how to properly fit a touring boot and how to address issues in the field. FIT Across the way from Strafe headquarters, Aspen Expeditions sells 24 different models of touring boots.
