I don't know if you've already tried on those boots, but I would recommend getting your boots fitted at a shop instead of buying them online.

You really did pick like the shitiest stuff possible.  Even at that pricepoint, there is far better equipment.

Heres better skis:

http://www.evogear.com/outlet/skis/4frnt-tnk-blem-2007.aspx

Some people dont like the 4frnt (same can be said bout the troubles though) but they are one hell of a ski, expect to use those for a good 3-4 seasons if you ski hard.

DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT get your boots online. Worst decision I ever made.

Get some custom fitted at a shop. Best decision I ever made.

i reccomend the rossis mentioned above, and to not listen to the crap said about the look bindings, whoopdedoo they heavier than other bindings but this just means that there is more metal and less plastic... isnt that a good thing? i personally would choose a heavier binding knowing that the pieces in it are sturdier than a cheap plastic binding that is extremely light

i have had both salomon and look bindings. trust me, salamon bindings have nothing on look
