Do you tip ski boot fitters?
Just like any service industry your gratuity is always appreciated, ski techs generally are rarely if ever awash in cash, usually work like a slave and appreciate the case of beer/few extra bucks.

Can I stretch ski boots at home?

Will ski boots loosen up?
Yes, your ski boots will loosen up over time. Much like other shoes, they will break in and become roomier, such as in the heel or other places where there’s more pressure from your foot.
How do you get fitted for ski boots?
Ski boots should have a snug fit without cutting off circulation or causing painful pressure points. Slight to moderate pressure on your longest toes when the boot is buckled and your leg is in an upright position is usually an indication that the boot will be the right size after some use.
Are custom footbeds worth it skiing?
Short answer: Yes. Almost everyone can benefit from putting footbeds (also called insoles, inserts or orthotics, depending where you shop) in their ski boots . A quality supportive footbed really is the foundation of a good fit in a ski boot.
