My girly needs some boots and I dont know where to start on getting her some? What is good for a girl 5'2" 100-110ish? Basically do you ladies get lighter ladies boots or rock like little full tilts lol?
I dont even know how many ladies look at gear talk, so maybe guys if you have insight...

need wayyyyy more information than this man.... not to be a dick but height and weight wont matter for boot.  we need info like foot size, shape of foot (narrow or wide), how the arch of the foot is, ect. and even then you would probably be better off going to a bootfitter in your area.

^^^ Yeah I know that. Im not looking for like exact size and model. Im just asking like do girls rock mens boots that are smaller or do they have like ladies boots for park skiing that will be as good in performance? I have never thought to look at a girls foot when skiing to know. I will take her to a boot fitter, but I wanna know what to be looking for after that... I put her height and weight to basically say she might want a lighter boot.

if theyre for a present, go on your computer and make a coupon type thing that says "Good for one new pair of ski boots" or something similar. Then, print it out, put it in a box full of packing peanuts, wrap up the box, put it in a bigger box, and wrap that box up (keep doing this if you want) and then you can take her to an actual shop and she can pick out the exact boots that fit her and are exactly what she needs.

I understand that she will need to get fitted

I am asking what girls use more often; if they rock mens park boots or if they make boots for women park skiing.

They will make a boot that fits her foot in guys boots (juniors). They also make boots for girls that will fit her foot. Once it gets measured I will make a specific decision based on what fits her best. But what Im asking is; do companies make a boot that is park oriented for women? Or do girls just rock smaller boots designed for males? Like a Krypton Rampage is a thin boot. Say that it fit her in a juniors size. Would it be best to get that or a women specific boot that fits her?

I DO NOT WANT SPECIFIC BOOT RECOMMENDATIONS! I WANT GENERALITIES!

i like a girl specific boot personally because they do a good job catering to a narrower footbed etc. i have a pair of atomic hawx, super fucking comfy but not a stiff flex. but definitely bring your girl to the bootfitter because they will tell you the best advice. don't go by what is trendy either...better to just go see what works for her as opposed to girls as a whole.
on the other hand i know a lot of girls who don't have girl specific boots and love them. it all depends on her.
