Ski boots

Ski boots are specialized footwear that provide protection and warmth for the foot in snowy and icy conditions. They are fitted into the ski bindings so that skiers can safely make their way down the hill. Ski boots were originally made of Leather. As ski binding technology advanced from a free-heel boot to a fixed heel, boots advanced from leather to plastic. Boots come in various degrees of stiffness; beginners typically like a softer boot, while more advanced skiers prefer a stiffer boot.
