The Best Ski Boots of 2024

Having a decent pair of ski boots can make or break your time on the slopes. Having a correctly fitted pair of boots is going to allow you to ski comfortably all day long and perform to your best. Our choices for the best ski boots of 2024 are broken down into low-volume boots for narrow feet, medium-volume boots for average feet and high-volume boots for wide feet. We've also given our top picks for backcountry ski boots for each category.


Low-volume boots for narrow feet

Nordica Promachine 105 GW Women’s and 120 GW Men’s

Nordica’s Promachine offers a low-volume fit that gives plenty of space around the toes and provides impressive performance for a boot that is surprisingly light. A real go-to option across a range of flexes for all our boot fitters.

Atomic Ultra 95 S GW Women’s and 120 S GW Men’s 

atomic hawk ultra mens and womens ski boots

The Atomic Hawx Ultra set the standard for 98mm, low-volume boots when it was first introduced, with a close, but comfortable fit matched with incredible lightness. These latest models push that further with the category-leading Mimic liners, that provide excellent foothold and customisation.

Salomon S/Pro Alpha 90 GW Women’s and 110 Men’s

Salomon’s S/PRO Alpha was launched last season to great acclaim thanks to a fantastic anatomical shape that mixes comfort and performance. This is the one to go for if you want a little bit more space but want to stay in low-volume boots.

Our top backcountry pick: Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD 115 BOA GW Women’s and 130 BOA GW Men’s

atomic hawk ski boots 

The Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD has always been a benchmark hybrid boot, and now with the addition of BOA it cements its position as one of the most desired boots on the shelf. The fit is slim without being tight and the new BOA closure ensures the kind of even pressure that clips can struggle to provide.

Medium-volume ski boots for average feet

K2 Anthem 95 BOA GW Women’s and Recon 120 BOA GW Men’s

K2 were one of the first brands to embrace BOA on alpine boots, and these Recon/Anthem models haven’t just had the new tech ‘bolted’ on, they were totally redesigned to make it work to its very best potential, and it’s mission accomplished. Instant comfort, excellent foot wrap and smooth, easy performance are what make these models stand out.

Salomon S/Pro Supra 95 BOA GW Women’s and 120 Men’s

The Supra models are a totally new range, built around the possibilities of BOA and using every bit of Salomon’s extensive foot and boot know-how. They offer a generous medium fit, with possibly the most comfortable toe box we have tried on, and highly effective custom fitting of the shell as well as the liner. Already a top seller.

Fischer RC4 105 MV BOA VAC GW Women’s and 120 MV BOA GW Men’s

The Fischer RC4 boots are another new face on the mid-volume offering, again with BOA closure systems. They provide all the performance that you would expect from Fischer with their race heritage and blend it with BOA to produce a wrap effect on the foot that buckle boots can’t imitate.

Our top backcountry pick: K2 Mindbender 95 BOA GW Women’s and 120 BOA GW Men’s 

k2 mindbender mens and womens ski boots

K2’s  Mindbender boots always have a big following thanks to huge versatility on the mountain, an accommodating fit and even though we shouldn’t say it, a look that demands attention in a positive way. The addition of BOA has elevated the boots for 23/24, making these one of the must-have all-terrain models.

High-volume ski boots for wide feet

Nordica HF 85 GW Women’s and 110 GW Men’s 

nordica ski boots womens and mens

The HF rewound the clock for the inspiration to make the simplest boot to step in and out of, as well as adjust. These are the boots to head to if you have broader/higher-volume feet and want the minimum of fuss. The cuff opens right out, allowing even skiers with the most limited ankle movement to easily step in. Then one buckle secures the closure and it’s time to ski.

Head Edge 95 HV GW Women’s and 110 HV GW Men’s 

head skis mens and womens

Head’s Edge boots have long been a go-to option for skiers struggling to find comfort for their broader/higher-volume feet, without ignoring the need for the necessary performance. This all-new version makes entry/exit easier, improves heel hold and uses a walk mode for convenience when not skiing.

Atomic Hawx Magna 105 S GW Women’s and 110 S GW Men’s 

atomic skis women and mens

When Atomic introduced the Hawx Magna range they shook up the high-volume fit category by offering a roomy fit but making no compromise on performance. All the same features as the Hawx Ultra or Prime models are on Magna boots, just recognising that some skiers need more space, without a loss of control or performance.

Our top backcountry pick: Fischer Ranger One 130 DYN VAC GW Men’s 

fischer ranger one ski boots

The Ranger One sits in a sector of the market that many brands ignore: Hybrid or Backcountry boots for performance skiers who have broader/higher-volume feet. For this reason, the Ranger One has an army of loyal followers, delighted to find what they need, meaning they can ski where they want and in comfort.
