"A must to heat them up with rice and couple of times. 2nd time I played ping pong for an hour and they feel great now. DO not judge fist time you put them on. I have one buckle digging in slightly, but trying to find time to adjust. . . but it is warm spring time. Ripping this winter will be the next review."

— Jim E. (4/5)

Q&A

Do you have any plans to make boots that will fit pin/tech bindings for ski touring?
Yes. We have plans that may take some time to come to market.
I want to try ski. I currently have a pair of snowboard boots. Can I use them with ski equipment?
Our boots can be used for snowboarding as well. They are not compatible with other brands of snowboarding boots.
What is the weight difference between the Antero and Crestone ski boot?
Antero is 10% lighter than Crestone.
Hey Apex, I am looking forward to trying your new designs. When do you anticipate expanding to Size 14? Thanks.
We probably won't be building a 32 mondo or 14 street shoe equivalent in the near future.
I attempt to both ski and snowboard, and understand that the walking portion of your boots are snowboard boots but do you have anything in the works with either Burton, for step on, or an apex step on snowboard binding, similar to clew.
Unfortunately our inner boot is not compatible with step on systems.
Do you guys make these with the ability to put any brand snowboard in them?
No. They are designed as a system not to be mixed with other boots.
I have a very narrow foot how does this work with this boot
The BOA Fit System is unique in that it wraps around your foot unlike conventional boots, allowing for greater range in fitting narrow and wide feet. In more narrow feet additional padding may be required for proper heel retention.
Is there any professional pricing or discounts for National Ski Patrollers?
Yes. Please contact our customer service for NSP member pricing. 303-530-3340 or info@apexskiboots.com.
Do you make kids sizes? My son has a genetic disorder and his feet are too wide and thick to fit a typical ski boot so we’ve made him snowboard, but he doesn’t love it and keeps saying that he wants to ski…. I would love to try these for him!
The smallest we make is a 23 mondo which fits men's 5 shoe equivalent.
DO YOU OFFER PROFESSIONAL DISCOUNTS TO National Ski Patrol members?
We sure do. You can access the discount through our NSP Official Product Supplier link on NSP's website like all other product supplier's discounts. Call us with further questions. 303-530-3340.
