A device and method to measure and correct the cant of a pair of ski boots. A device has a pair of platforms movable with respect to one another. Binding means for the ski shoes are attached to the platform. Each platform is independently rotatable about a longitudinal center line. A pair of vertical indicators indicate the relationship between the respective knee of the skier and the vertical indicators. A second pair of indicators measure the degree of rotation of the respective platforms. Wedges are used to correct the cant and to obtain zero rotation of the respective platforms. The device can also be used to correct the cant of skis with ski boots attached.
