Definición y Significado de "ski boot"

What is a "ski boot"?

A ski boot is a type of footwear designed for use in alpine skiing, a winter sport that involves sliding down snowy slopes on skis. They are typically made from a hard plastic shell with a thick liner for insulation and comfort. The shell of the ski boot is designed to provide support and stability to the skier's foot, ankle, and lower leg, while the liner helps to keep the foot warm and in place within the boot. Ski boots may also feature additional design elements such as buckles or straps for adjusting the fit, and a notch at the back of the boot for attaching the ski binding. Properly fitting ski boots are crucial for both comfort and safety while skiing and skiers may work with a boot fitter to find the best fit and design for their needs.
