Ski Boots in hand luggage

We go skiing every year and use Easyjet or Ryanair to get to our destination. The check-in people at Easyjet always ask me to check the boots in "because security people won't let me through" if I carry them on-board. I therefore asked the security people that same question. As far as they are concerned, they don't mind "as long as I only carry 1 piece of hand luggage". I am now taking them on-board as hand luggage in the boot bag they came with when I bought them.

Are you still doing this? We are flying tomorrow from Luton and I don't want to try it and get clobbered with an additional charge for checking in my hand luggage!

Thanks

I have worn mine on the plane in the past when I have not wanted to pay a surcharge, not the best things to wear but it was not a problem

Has anyone recently used Ryanair for their ski-ing break, wondering if they check ski bags to see if normal luggage (clothes etc) is in the ski bag, in addition to skis, boots, poles. There is a 20kg limit, hoping to put clothes etc in ski bag and trying to find out if they look in the ski bag

never had a problem taking them as hand luggage on easyjet or jet2.

Edit to add: other people I travel skiing with often take 1 boot in handluggage (which leaves room for some other things) and the other in their checked suitcase). If you can't get both your boots within the weight/size restrictions that might be a way to go

Can't believe anyone is suggesting that you could wear ski boots to travel!!! These are the boots you ski in and they are almost impossible to walk far in. And I dont think security would let you through wearing them anyway.
