I got some skis from my friend last winter and they work really good, but now (being a teen with quick growing feet) i need new boots. I need some good quality ski boots for a low price because,1. I love to ski and I live in minnesota so its like the best thing to do right now. and 2.I won%26#039;t use them for more than 1-2 years because my feet will grow so i don%26#039;t want to pay too much. (and i dont have that much money)
Please help!
I need some good quality ski boots for a really, I mean REALLY small price!?
DO NOT BUY BOOTS OFF EBAY. You need to go to a ski shop and get a pair of professionally fit boots. You need to try them on before you buy them. As for Brands i suggest Rossingols. they are cheap and make great boots for all skill levels. Dalbelos are a little more expensive but they are also very good boots.
Reply:Yeah dude....that lady is right. Ebay is the best place to get some boots. That is if you know your size. If you aren%26#039;t a nut about quality, go to your local ski shops and ask when the next swap sale or used equipment is being sold. If you REALLY don%26#039;t care about quality, go to mountains at the end of the season or the very beginning and ask the rental shop if they are gettin rid of any old boots. My mom got a pair to lend to friends for 15 bucks. Haha...I always took this for granted because I%26#039;m the youngest in a family of ski instructors. My two older sisters produced enough ski boots growing up to give us every children%26#039;s size known to mankind. When I hit my teenage years I started working to bet better and better boots. My dad being a level 3 PSIA instructor gets great deals so he has a closet full of boots. I guess you need to find a family like ours who keeps their boots to to loan to people to feed the sport.
Reply:I will answer this question only because I love Minnesota. However, please never say, %26quot;They work really good%26quot; because that IS NOT proper English. Instead, it%26#039;s %26quot;they work really WELL%26quot;. Anyways, if you don%26#039;t mind having used ski boots, ebay is definetly the place to go. However, you have to realize that skiing is one of the most expensive sports so try to buy your ski boots from LAST SEASON because they will be most likely on sale.
Reply:OK I work at a shop and am hoping I can help you. First of let me give you a quick run down on boots, they aren%26#039;t supposed to fit like sneakers, your toe in a good fitting boot will touch the front and when you lean forward should pull back slightly from the end of the boot. Your boots that you have still could possibly work for you if you try them on again and this is the case. If indeed they are too big, where your foot is still growing you can go a size bigger than you measure and it shouldn%26#039;t hurt your skiing ability too seriously and can give you that extra year your looking for in the boot. When looking at the boot sizes (mondo point sizing) the numbers will look weird such as 23, 27 etc. All you have to do is add the numbers together and it gives you the size the boot is in US shoe sizing, so a 23 will be a men%26#039;s size 5 or a woman%26#039;s size 6. Now to find you a boot even though I hate to say it EBay does have the best deals, as long as your know what your looking for, going in blind will give you a miserable pair of boots and probably not too much fun with them. As far as other options, local shops are your best bet, usually the further away from the mountains the better (they are the shops looking to make deals happen). Brands I would recommend to look for are Salomon if your looking for the most comfortable boots out there and Roxy also makes boots that are very affordable and good quality, they are made by Lange (New Lange boots much roomier these days, if you haven%26#039;t had a chance to try them on give them another shot). That about covers it, good luck finding a pair of boots and have a great winter!
