Replying to Boots to get...

I'm wondering what boots to get...
I've had Rossignol and Lange - both pretty stiff (racing)... When I land my shins get smacked by the top front edge of the boot. After a couple of hours I have bruises, and just regular skiing hurts like a motherf*cker.. I know racing boots aren't made for the park or back country, so going to get new boots. What boots do you use, and have you had any probs with them?
My skis are '03 Scratch BC with Look bindings, if it makes any difference...
