please read the sticky at the top of the forum and then go see your local boot-fitter to find the right boot for your unique foot shape. unfortunately no one on the interweb will be able to fit you for boots.

once you've narrowed your search down to a few models that fit you, then people will be able to give you some advice and some personal feedback or share some stories they've had. But even then what works for one person might be horrible for someone else. It really comes back to what fits you and only you.

to be honest you probably wont get the best advice on here. unless your question can be answered with "spk" or "full tilt" NS wont be of much help

You are riding 140's and you are 5'10? Might want some new longer skis too.

There's no way to know what you'd even fit into without seeing your foot, but try Ace of Spades and see if you like them. The progressive flex is really cool, and the boots fit amazing (on most of the people I know anyway), cus of the awesome middle buckle.
