Ski boots, especially rentals, are notorious for being uncomfortable, so it's good to at least have a proper fitting sock for your child.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Ski Socks
  • Ski Clothing
  • Ski Equipment
  • Ski Helmets
  1. Step 1

    Make sure the sock is the correct size from toe to heel. A sock that bunches up will become uncomfortable.

  2. Step 2

    Choose a sock that's either knee-high or at least midcalf. When you can pull the sock above the tongue of the boot, it helps prevent bunching inside the boot.

  3. Step 3

    Consider a sock with an elastic band that helps keep the sock in place.

  4. Step 4

    Think about wool. Now that nonitchy wool is available, it's become a good investment. Wool socks are warm and will last a long time.

  5. Step 5

    Experiment with different socks if you can. Some socks are too thick or too thin inside ski boots. It's nice to have different options.

Tips & Warnings
  • Wool or fabric-blend socks are common and not too expensive.
