Hey urrybody,
I just got a pair of men's downhill skis and was wondering what boots were really good.
I am interested in comfy boots that are good for carving and whatnot...
Awesome!



Holla!

downhill boards, as in DH racing, or general alpine skis?

Get a pair of Nordica Wave 8's. Super comfortable and with a super flex.

but if they are DH racing skis you don't want flex, that's why I asked. In all honesty, the more comfy a boot, the less it will perform. The trick is finding the boot that meets the comfort/performance ratio you are looking for. Also, how wide is your foot (in the heel and forefoot) and how big is your calf? No one boot fits everyone, knowing how your foot is shaped can help determine what boot is best for your particular application.
