jamesg 0 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Hi there, I'm living in Tokyo and am making the exodus to Niseko this year. I have never skied before, one of the reasons is that I have huge feet -- size 13 (Australia) or 32cms. Does anyone know where I could get a pair of boots this big in Japan, or on the net? I've tried ringing around Kanda ski shops, but no luck. Getting desperate. Any advise welcome. James Link to post Share on other sites
TJ OZ 0 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Dont Buy ski boots on the net unless you have tried that stlye in a store. You may end up with something very uncomfortable. Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Agree. A friend did that and totally regretted it. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 go to a store and ask but also niseko should have your size to rent. Link to post Share on other sites

gamera 0 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Jamesq, as others before have said, I don't recommend to buy a pair of it online. You need to fix it by exactly trying. I have been told that our feet size slightly changes even in a day - 4 p.m. is the best time to fix so Ive been told. Actually some of my guests have had problems like that. They rented some beforehand at some rental shops in thier home town and they were fitted then. But when they came here and ski, they were a lot often tight or big. And they could not change them because the shop were far away. Link to post Share on other sites
Honest John 0 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I'm going to bring mine with me. Rental always seems so expensive, if you're going more than a few times you might as well buy them and own. Link to post Share on other sites
