Can I take my boots as a carry on on a plane?

I'm packing up my stuff and i realized my boots won't fit in my bag. I checked the airline's website and couldn't find anything. Just wondering if anyone knows wether or not I can bring my boots as a carry on.
Also, I'm flying on Alaska Airlines in case that matters.

I've done it on Air Canada and West Jet. I've had other friends walk through security wearing all their ski gear to save room

Ski boots are essential to the process of bomb making, so no.

Wrap them in tin foil and you'll be fine

If they try to stop you, which isn't likely, then you can always wear the boots and put your shoes inside a bag, your jacket, or your anus.

make sure you drape a ton of small electrical wires over them, and maybe a small flashing red light too so people can see them easier. a countdown clock to your arrival time can be fun too

You're good on Alaska. It's the only airline I fly and I've done it many times and never had a problem

Preferrably in your jacket in a bag in your anus.
Safety first, kids!

If you are willing to get a boot bag, most airlines count a boot bag and ski bag as 1 checked item.

yes, velcro the straps together and carry them over your shoulder.
