I need new ski boots, but although I want good ones I don't want to spend a fortune. I have wide feet - any r
Answers:
I have wide feet (usually a G fitting or wider when this is measured). I found that the new ski boots I bought recently are a very good fit. They were custom moulded in the shop. Less than £200, and on sale due to stock replacement (new models coming in).
I used to have a pair which were easier to get my feet in and out of (I also have wide ankles) because it allowed a walk, ski hard and ski soft setting. These new boots are much stiffer and pretty much always ski hard.
The only thing I regret is not being able to try them out on a dry ski slope, or even an indoor artificial snow slope before breaking them in. As it turned out I had no need to return them, they were a good fit.
A picture of my boots are on my 360. I bought the new pair as my old pair (10 year old) were stolen. Who would want my old smelly ski boots that were starting to have buckle problems?
Try Ebay first
Good Luck !
If your feet are that wide, you don't need skis
e-bay
Same as me! I bought Nordic ones, but I need to get them blown out at the sides. I spent about £250, but if you get last season's boots they may be less.
Nordica or Lange. I currently use nordica, and they are super comfy. I would highly reccomend that you do not buy them off of ebay. You should always try it on, before you buy it.
Boots are the most important piece of equipment you will own, so don't buy without trying them on.
Used boots are a bad idea, because boots are really the only piece of equipment that won't last as long as you want them to.they get broken down and soft.
If you buy used, buy from a ski swap so you can try them on.
Look for deals now. Places have last years stuff on sale to make room for the new models.
