Abstract
A carrier for ski boots includes a shoulder strap supporting an adjustable stirrup strap at each end. An adjustable ankle strap is fastened to each stirrup strap to hold a pair of ski boots securely to be carried with one ski boot in front and one ski boot on the back of the user. Each ankle strap includes an adjustable and easily releasable fastener to permit convenient use of the boot carrier for boots of a wide variety of sizes. A cover is fixedly fastened to the shoulder strap, providing padding for the shoulder strap during use of the carrier. The stirrup straps and ankle straps can be folded neatly, and the cover can be fastened around them when they are folded to contain the carrier as a compact package when it is not in use.
