About Dynafit

Born in the mountains and at home in the snow, Dynafit has been a top tier brand in the world of snowsports since its relaunch in 2005.

At MEC, you can find plenty of downhill ski boots and more to help you get ready for winter adventures, and our expert staffers in-store can help you find the perfect fit.

Choosing downhill ski boots

If you’re wondering how to choose and fit ski boots, you can find plenty of information on our website or from our expert staffers. When it comes to finding the perfect fit, ill-fitting ski boots can quickly ruin a day on the slopes by causing discomfort or reducing control, which can compromise both safety and enjoyment. To ensure a good fit, treat the boot-fitting process as a test run for the real thing. Wear your ski socks and allow enough time to walk around and fully experience how the boots feel on your feet. Spending this extra time helps reveal any tight spots or looseness that could become bothersome later, so take the opportunity to get a true sense of how the boots will perform once you're actually skiing. Again, the best way to fit ski boots is to come to your local MEC and get sized by an experience ski boot fitter.

Ski boots consist of an outer shell, a footbed, and an inner liner. To find the right fit, start with a shell fitting, which determines if the shell size (measured in mondopoint) is correct for your foot and whether there's enough space for the inner liner to provide comfort.

If you feel tightness around your ankle, it might indicate that some liners are designed to be snug initially to allow for a custom fit after heat-molding. However, significant pressure may suggest the need to size up for a better fit.

Downhill ski bindings

While skis and boots often steal the spotlight, bindings are a crucial element of your ski setup. They serve two essential functions: securing your boots to your skis for stability on descents and releasing your skis during falls to help protect your knees and reduce the risk of serious injury. Finding the right bindings can make a big difference in both your safety and skiing experience. Read our article on how to choose ski bindings to learn more.
