Collection: Vintage & Retro Ski Boots

Leather uppers, stitched welts, three-pin soles and the smell of a Norwegian attic. These are the boots that were on skis before plastic took over.

Most of what you will find here takes 75 mm Nordic Norm bindings — the three-pin system with a duckbill toe — and much of it is genuine 1970s and 1980s production from Alfa, Alpina, Fabiano and their contemporaries.

People buy these for three reasons: to ski on old wooden or waxable skis that still have the original bindings, to fit out a traditional or historical kit, or simply because a well-made leather boot looks better than anything moulded.

Condition is described honestly in every listing, including where leather has aged or stitching has been repaired. Each gives the EU size, US size and insole length in millimetres.

Duties and taxes are paid by us.
