Are boots that important

the boots you wear are more important than any other equipment. honestly, they are.

believe it or not boots are important. I use to not think so, but after upgrading to two new boots in 2 seasons i'm a firm believer.

Now I know its gonna be a question so let me answer it for you. There is no single boot that is 'the best'. Every boot is going to fit a persons foot differently depending on length, width, size, etc... So if you go looking for new boots make sure to try a bunch of them on, its going to depend alot on how wide your foot is, to what boot is goign to be good for you. Your gonna want something that is very snug, so that you don't move around in it when u ski. If you end up getting a good boot that fits, this will give you more control over your skis, and will help prevent injuries.

How you ask does this give you better control. Well if you are a bit looser in the boot then when you try to turn or spin, you are going to have just that little extra space where there isn't direct contact with your leg and your shin or calf is going to smash into the boot, so it isn't going to be moving directly with your foot. If you have your boots tight, your going ot have direct contact with your legs allowing your foot and leg to move directly with your ski. I know this may not sound like much here, but it makes a difference. I mean bascially your skis and feet are doing most of the work for you when you ski.. and your boots are holding your feet.... then there is the whole other case about custom insoles.

Long story short if you can't stand to read all of the above.... boots make a difference, spend the money, get some good ones, it'll pay off.

what he said

Boots will make or break a great day of skiing. Get good ones, and get a custom footbed, have them proffesionally fit to. You will not be disapointed!

Yea, except I only have 150 to spend, any suggestions?

save your money! less pizza, and booze!

Your boots should be your top priority when buying equipment. If you can possibly spare more than $150, do it.

I'd say boots and bindings are the most important. and the only reason i say bindings are tied with boots is because, going cheap on bindings can mean a screwed up day on the hill if they break, or worse, a screwed up season if you break your leg.

Boots fall undet the categories of comfort and performance.

i spent 200 dollars on the 1080 boot and it was a good deal/value.

if u have bad boots or their uncomfortable you will be having a bad day

the boots are more important than the skis, by far. if you get something uncomfortable, you're going to be miserable andin pain. if you get something to big, your foot is going to be sliding around inside the boot and you aren't going to getting full control over the skis. it's like building a house without the proper foundation.

i totally agree, ive used bad boots and its not fun.

not unless you wanna go home every time after skiing and cry and jackoff in the corner untill the pain leaves

Last year I had intermediate boots, that were to small. They hurt my feet alot. This year I got Rossignol Soft2's, and they're so comfy, my feet never hurt.

deff super important jsut as important as skis bindings and poles

Try on some boots at your shop, find which model/brand fits best, then try to find a deal on ebay.

^^poles? who gives a shit about poles? but yes, boots are vital

are feet that important?


COURSE THEY ARE IMP

save ur dough buy great boots be happy ski better :)
