So hey guys! I'm about to buy my first pair of skis. I'm going to buy Salomon Suspect but I'm not quite sure what size I should buy? I'm 5.7" nearly 5.8" (175CM)
tall :)

Also! What boots should I get from Salomon?

Well if you're 175 cm, you're more like 5'9". But I would just get the size closest to height. What are the possible sizes? I don't feel like looking it up.

If you're just starting you might want something shorter at first, but if you don't plan on buying new skis the next year (which you might have to since you're getting Suspects), I would still get the 176.

And for boots, why do you just want Salomon?  Well whatever, the Salomon SPK Kaos is a good boot.
