the best boot it seems would be a race stock. get one with a really high number. 150 is good. start from there and make sure you dont get any bootfitting done. remember 3 sizes small and you'll have a very precise feel for you skis.

or get a junior boot considering your size.

Go to a shop. Try on a bunch of boots, and despite what the boots may be in brand and popularity, try to pick just based on what fits your foot best, and what feels best to walk around in. Your shop (if they're decent) will probably get you to do some flexes in them to see if the fit is right. You also probably want to replace the footbeds with custom ones if you can afford it, and if not, go get some superfeet ($25), they really help.

I just got a pair of Armada AR6's and am looking for a good pair of lightweight boots and bindings for them. I want something not too bulky and heavy (something I will be able to hike up for jumps and rails without too much difficulty). I have no idea which boots and bindings would be good for this, so I'd appreciate it if someone helped me out on this.
