The 10 Best Kids' Ski Boots for 2024

By: Jordan Sunshine: Ski Buyer | October 16, 2023

 

Shopping for ski boots is hard enough, shopping for your kids is dang near impossible. Or at least, it used to be. It’s hard to tell if your kids' ski boots actually fit, if they have an appropriate flex, and if they’re keeping those small feet warm and comfortable. Luckily, kids' ski boots have come a long way. The best kids' ski boots are designed to be easy to get on and off and provide the right blend of flex and stiffness to absorb chatter and help smaller bodies turn their skis.

New This Year:

2024 ushers in a refreshing shift in the design and aesthetics of kids' ski boots. Embracing inclusivity and breaking away from traditional norms, brands are now offering more gender-neutral color options. This trend not only provides a broader spectrum of choices for young skiers but also champions the idea that the mountain is for everyone, irrespective of gender. With these diverse color palettes, kids can now choose boots that resonate with their unique style and personality, ensuring they hit the slopes with confidence and flair.

I was born and raised in northern Vermont and moved west as soon as I turned 18. I bounced around the PNW for a while eventually following evo’s store openings to Denver where I have called home since and although I will always take even the wettest of pow days, have come to appreciate any day skiing in the sun, be it with friends or my kids.

I have been skiing since I was 2 and started working in a ski shop when I was 14, which was way more fun than washing dishes. Over the years I have worked as a ski tech, boot fitter, liftie, product copywriter, and eventually came to manage evo’s Portland and Denver stores. Now I am the Ski Buyer, overseeing ski hardgoods and backcountry accessories.
