Which Boots?

I'm 18 and have been skiing since I was like 4. I just recently bought my first pair of skis and bindings, but I have no idea which boots to get.

I have the 05 PEs and Scratch120 bindings. Anyone have any suggestions for boots that may go well with my current configuration?

I am pretty advanced all around the mountain but just recently started riding in the park as well. I'd say I'll be doing about 50/50.

I went to a ski shop and was told the Head Edge 10.5's would be good for me but would like more input on this.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

did the shop have you try the heads on? Go to a good shop and try on a bunch of boots and listen to the guy at the shop, we have absolutley now way of telling you what boot fits you best on the internet.

agreed! however, some goof freeride specific boots to look into are:

Salomon Gun/foil/1080

Dalbello Krypton series (the rampage is actually the worst boot in the series, get last years crosses or pros if you can)

Head Mojo

Dalbello Reflex 11 (similar to the kryptons but with a wider toebox if you dont fit the krypton. not freeride specific, but can easily be modded to kill park)

the OLD line transfer boots, if your lucky enough to find your size on ebay
