A boot for protecting heel ends of a pair of skis includes a pocket-shaped body having a pair of side walls, a pair of end walls extending between and interconnecting the side walls and a bottom wall extending between and connecting the lower ends of the side walls and end walls. The side, end and bottom walls together forming a cavity open at a top end for receiving the heel ends of a pair of skis. The bottom wall is of greater thickness than the side and end walls. The pocket-shaped body is made of a material sufficiently flexible and resilient to removably fit over the heel ends of the skis and to grip the surfaces thereon. A plurality of raised ribs are formed on the exterior of lower end portions of the side walls of the pocket-shaped body for gripping by the user to pull the body off from the heel ends of the skis. A plurality of protuberances are spaced apart and formed on and protrude outwardly from the exterior of the bottom wall for absorbing shock to, and providing traction at, the heel ends of the skis when received in the pocket-shaped body.
