How old are your ski boots?

I'm wondering this after seeing a few threads about getting new ski boots. Mine are about to see their 6th season and don't see a reason for new boots. Anyone else?

why would you get new ones if yours fit perfectly?

I've had my Salomon X-Scream boots since 1999 or 2000. But I just bought Dalbello Krypton Pro's over the weekend to replace my old boots.

mine are 5 years/seasons/100 days.
I didn't start really skiing until this season.
But they don't fit, so i need new ones.
I wouldn't get new ones if mine didn't fit, though.

i just got new boots the other day because my old ski boots gave me shin splints because i couldnt flex them so when i would land my shins would just smack the boot, but the boots i used last season were used before me .

1 season, when boots get to a certain age you really just need to get new ones, the toe and heal piece wear down and they really do a number on your shins

mine probably have about 80 to 100 days on them, but im a fucking moron and bought them online so they give me horrifyingly painful shinbang, so im dropping some cash on some professionally fit ones this season.

I bought them and they were from like a season or two ago, so now they're like 3-4 years old, but only have like 100 days on them. I'd really like to get a new pair though.

My boots from last season were 3 years old and the front was worn down so they fell off all the time until i got different bindings that supported the boot in a different spot. def getting new boots this year.
