  • Answer:

    Completely agree with Jim W. You need to go to a high quality ski shop. They will have all kinds of boots in various sizes. I will say for most of the country, most ski shops are pretty much over selling ski equipment so their selections are going to be slim. but you have to realize to get a race quality boot, you need to expect to pay around $800.

I got my boots at www.backcountry.com Full Tilt Booters Normally I would advise against getting things online as others have mentioned, boots are very much so a "unique fit" item and sizing is only a guide, not exact. 28.5 Salomon boots will fit differently than 28.5 Dalbello, or 28.5 Head, etc. The only reason I got mine there is because of 100% refund/free return shipping. So I actually purchased 3 different sets of boots from them and returned the ones that didn't fit. I am glad it worked that way as the one I figured it would be, wasn't. (I got 29, 29.5, 30 and I figured the 29.5's were going to be the money, and actually the 29's were the best fit.) I also know how my boots are supposed to fit, so I didn't need a fitter to tell me. (I have owned several pairs of boots over the years, racing and recreational.) Racing boots generally run a little small as you cinch them down hard before a race and loosen them up or "unsnap" at the bottom. If you are unsure of what you need? Do what Jim suggests and speak to a boot fitter.
