OTT 0 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I'm going to give skiing a go this winter and looking around at boots, and there's just so many of them. I'm having fun looking at them all but it is difficult as I'm not sure exactly what I should be looking for. Any tips on what I should be looking for, best models, makes etc?

sava 0 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I have had my feet modified to attach directly to the binding. This means that I don't have to waste money on boots. However before my operation, I found the salomon performa serious not too bad. The main thing is that you should find a boot fitter with a good reputation. Otherwise you'll end up with something causing you agony . Link to post Share on other sites

OTT 0 Posted January 4, 2006 Author Share Posted January 4, 2006 Thanks sunrise, will take a look. So just going to a store and picking up some boots is a definite not recommend then? Not sure where boot fitters would be in my area. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 If it's your first time don't get something too expensive. You really will be fine with anything cheap off the shelf. You'll just have to upgrade in a couple years if you stick with it and want to push it up a notch or two Link to post Share on other sites
Kraut_in_HongKong 0 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 In Nozawa I had the largest pair that still fitted to snow blades - which were 1 or 2 sizes below my size. And it was worth the pain! Link to post Share on other sites
