10 Products Alpine Skier Mikaela Shiffrin Recommends For Beginners

adidas by Stella McCartney x TERREX Free Hiker Gore-Tex Shoes ($300)

If you've ever tried on a pair of ski boots, you know they aren't the most comfortable. To give your feet a break in between runs, Shiffrin recommends a shoe you can slip on or off in seconds for maximum convenience. Of course, she's partial to this super-cute style by adidas TERREX featuring a custom Stella McCartney leopard print.

"It's a fine line between having a really, really cute shoe and a very functional shoe, but something that's easy to get on," says Shiffrin. Whether you're a racer changing post-run out on the slopes, or a beginner gearing up at your car in the parking lot, the same needs apply: "Something that's easy and warm and you can go anywhere in, but it's gonna be easy to get out of your boots and slip it right on."
