Do all new boots feel wierd when you first try them on. I know you're supposed to break them in, and i just got my first pair of brand new boots, should i just ski them till they feel better?

yes. If they fit right they'll hurt for anything between 1 run and a few days. Bare with it and it'll get better.

After the first couple days on the slopes take them in to a boot fitter and show him where your getting a lot of pain. Then he can make it better and more comfortable.

True story. I was buying new boots this weekend and the only ski shops are in rich parts of town. I couldnt get help for about 20 minutes on ave. because I was rocking a element t, backwards hat and some etnies. The places were empty but when someone with a tie on walked in.. they were on them like stink on shit. I was like 'ok guys i'm ready to spend 600 bucks but you dont want to help' So I just got the size I needed and bought online.
