Abstract: A pliable inner boot for insertion within a rigid outer shell of a ski boot is formed of resinous foam material. The inner boot is bifurcated at the front, and is provided with recesses in the vicinity of the shin region and preferably at the heel pocket. These rcesses soften the feel of the inner boot at the shin and ankle regions when it is compressed by closure of the rigid outer shell. A pliable custom fitting reservoir (fit pack) is interposed between the rigid outer shell and the inner surface of the inner boot in the vicinity of the heel pocket and the instep portions of the inner boot. This reservoir may be either integral with or separate from the inner boot. It may include a conduit adapted to receive a liquid resin reaction mixture from a source remote from the ski boot. Alternatively, the fit pack may contain isolated components of a reaction mixture which are mixed by kneading just prior to use.
