for under 200 bucks dont expect to get anywheres neer a good boot. All the boots in that price range are made with shitty plastic and suck ass. Just spend the 700 bucks and get a Nordica beast, best boot ever made.

Im not sure about ^^^ up there but when I used the Performa 5's I didnt like them at all, but obviously he hasnt had a problem with em, so it can be different for everyone. Like VTrider said, a good quality boot will cost you.

I got W10s for 200$ CANADIAN. Now that was a good deal. By the way, guy up a bit, I can get Beasts for 399 Cdn, they're not that expensive. If you have small feet, you can get 1080s for 119 USD...size 25.5 and under...

Ski boots is something thuat you definately dont want to skimp on. Fork up some extra cash and get some decent boots. The Dalbello CRX Superide is pretty cheap and versatile: you can adjust it for softer park skiing or for stiffer all mtn... I haven't tried it myself though...

^he's right. If anything, boots are almost more important than the quality of you bindings and/or skis. They immensely effect your performance as a skier if they aren't a good boot. If you find a great deal on a good boot, go for it, but in general, you want to go for the boot that best fits you for the best performance. I'm not saying to go spend $700 on boots. I bought mine for around $150, and they are amazingly nice boots (originally $400). The key would be to find them near the end of the season when everything is going on sale. Also, finding somebody who KNOWS how to fit a boot properly. But yeah, whatever you want. Ebay works if you know that the boot will work.

It's also not a good idea to just buy some without trying them on. Your foot and lower leg is not the same as the next. However, i love my nordica w8's and they are pretty reasonable. At least go to a shop and find the ones you like first. Otherwise you may get stuck with a boot that is nice but not nice to your feet

yeah, a 25 is a men's size 8. You'd still want to try the boot on before buying though, cause there are always little things, and boots aren't real flexible when it comes to how wide your foot is or whatever.

Rossignol Salto's, I got a pair for under $200, and they aren't ultra high quality, but i manage to rip up the park and the mountain with them, so i have no complaints about them
