You think you have the worst ski boots ever? Then post it here if you think so.

Heres my personal contribution which I think could be some of the worst boots.
There are of that one company that invented rear entry boots (which means, yes, they are rear entry) they are uncomfortable, and these are one heck of a retro boot. I think these are some pretty ghetto boots. (Picture below)

(P.S. This is my first post)

i have rossi sprayers that are too big for me.  i don't know why i bought them.
i just ordered some brand new full tilts for 7 dollars more than i payed for the sprayers...
the sprayers are cold, big at the calf, and wide at the toe. 
also have pretty bad shin bang.
i'm taking a chance, buying FTs off the internet, but i do have a skinny foot, and the price was RIGHT.

Mine arent  as bad, but I have old Salomon rear-entry rental boots that got for $30, for some reason, i've had no problems with them though, my feet never hurt, and there warm as hell.

i have atomic boots from like 4ish years ago that were meant to be race boot i think. They have like no insulation and honestly do not fit my feet. There are like two MASSIVE pressure points that leave permanent marks on my feet that can be seen all year. I only bought them because they were cheap.

I skied with my dads rear-entry salomon boots in Jan. Best boots I've ever skied with. Had a lot more control. Don't diss rear-entry boots. They rock.

If you painted those purple and paid Tom Wallisch to wear them, I guarantee you could sell them to any kid who is looking for an excuse to look cool for $400 a pop.

The fact that people on this site are willing to buy $300-500 skis and then use $50 boots is FUCKING RETARDED.

i paid 149 for my sprayers, also at ski raquet, but before he was going out of buisiness( i kind of worked there, so i have hook ups).    got my camos for 157 off a secret website that should remain secret (no callouts...)  

for anyone in the DC area who skis a 160, ski raquet has a sick pair of P4s ( i think) for around 300.  he will hook you up with bindings too...

FT is made in the same mold as the old raichles were made in 20-30 years ago. keep those when you are done, a piece of skiing history right there.
