Ski Boots fit under an airline seat?

[TheArchitect]

I have it and it really doesn't fit under the seat.

Thanks!

I'm quite sure they will fit under the seat (you can lay them down and put your feet on them worst case). Also, for basic economy they enforce the no carry on at the gate (ie you will be group 7 or 8 or whatever and the gate agent will make sure you are not taking any carry ons), so once you are on (and worst case they dont fit) you should be able to stick them in a bin? As far as I can tell once you are on board the FAs can't tell if you are basic economy.

I just bought this backpack/bag and it fits my boots (28.5's), jacket, 2 pairs of pants, base layers, socks, and knee braces. Packed with those items it measured just in the 22x14x9 required dimensions. Everything to ski except for my helmet, which I can fit in a small backpack with other items which would meet the personal item dimensions.
