Is it now cheaper to buy ski boots in Japan than in the USA? We’ve done a price comparison of our top selling ski boots so far this season and the answer is yes, on average it is 18% cheaper for Americans to buy ski boots from us when compared to paying full price for the equivalent product in the USA.
The key reasons for this price variation is the weak yen providing tourists from U.S.A stronger purchasing power, tariffs driving up consumer prices back in U.S.A, and Japan seeing lower levels of inflation in comparison to the states.
But with boots price isn’t everything, as getting the right boot is always more important than saving a few $. Fortunately for our customers, when you buy boots from us we make sure that we get you the right boots for you, and can make further customisations as needed. We don’t charge extra for this service, aside from for additional items like custom footbeds or aftermarket liners, and provide a Bootfit Guarantee at no additional charge*.
We also offer tax free shopping for overseas tourists who are not planning on using the products until after they leave Japan, saving an additional 10% on the purchase price of your ski boots.
To check out the range, visit one of our three stores, located in Hakuba, Niseko Hirafu, and Niseko Village.
Disclaimer:
U.S.A RRP prices are calculated as of the exchange rate on the 16th February 2026, and is subject to change.
*Our Bootfit Guarantee is applicable to boot purchases where a customer purchases a boot that we recommend, with a custom footbed. This guarantee is valid for two years, or 30 days worth of skiing, whichever comes first.
