Teneighty is a more freestyle boot and are great IF you have kinda skinny feet. I think my favorites are the balbello's because my feet are fatr but ive only heard good about them.

The teneighty boots arent sold out and the shop i go to. They over stock alot of the boots they sell alot of.

I'm just going to assume that you're a bit insane with your typing skills, so I'll cut you some slack on the comment about the 1080's (definitely for wide feet) and balbello's(dalbello's?).

Your best bet for finding $200 boots would be a ski swap or something of the type. Just find something that fits your foot correctly and is about the right flex for you and you'll be good to go.

200 bucks? Good luck. For a good boot you'll probably have to go used for that price unless you come upon a great deal.

I've got the spaceframe pro models and they're awesome. Pretty stiff for a freeride boot, but that's how I like it. They're wicked expensive though...700-800 or something around there...

So for you, if you're going with Salomon, X wave 8 or 9, on sale or used. Other boots I'm not really familiar with. But there ya go. Hope that helps.

The foil boots are for wide feet, NOT wide legs, i couldnt even close them.


Rossi soft lights are super comfy, but a pain in the ass, even in store they would loosen up a littl ebit when i flexed hard.

as far as under 200 dollars, your choices are limited


and dont buy boots online unless youve already tried them on
