In the wake of a continuously (and seemingly unendingly) tenuous, fraught, and uncertain pandemic, it is a pleasure to turn the page to a new fresh year and a new fresh season. New beginnings and old activities feel revitalized in the aftermath of an era where so much of our time was spent inside, quarantining, and taking cautious baby steps back into “normalcy.” For skiers, the shift of the seasons brings a return to a joyous playful activity that feels comforting and familiar, like a game, but also freeing and unrestricted, particularly in these present times.
For many, especially now, skiing is an ideal pandemic pursuit. When it comes to hitting the slopes this year, there is certainly going to be an increased escapism from all of the troubles of the world, and rightly so. So why let antiquated gear burst your escapist bubble on the powder?
Enter: the heated ski boot. 2022’s technological answer to cold feet is here so nothing can slow you down when hitting the slopes. Heated ski boots are your new best friend. Whether you’re an advanced skier who wants to embrace this toasty technology to a beginner who wants to get in the ski game in style, we’ve got you covered. Plus, we’ve paired all of our favorites with a Pure Athlete performance ski sock so you know just what to get to accompany your newest heated ski boot.
Our team has scoured the internet for the best heated ski boots with a warming system and have grouped them by gender. There are a few criteria we looked at when considering the current favorite heated ski boots on the market right now. Our top considerations include: size, flex (how rigid or flexible the boot construction is), heating components, and differences in construction due to gender. Read on to find out which heated ski boots you should be considering and see what Pure Athlete performance ski sock pairings we made for them.
What is Flex?
Flex is an important factor to consider when choosing ski boots of any kind, even heated ski boots. The Flex is the term that refers to how rigid or bendable the boot is. Flex is measured via number grade on a scale from 60 to 150. Generally, the more advanced the skier, the higher the Flex should be for your heated ski boot. See the guide below for some reference:

Beginner level: 60 – 90
Intermediate level: 90 – 110
Advanced level: 110+
High-level competitors: 140 – 150
