Hey I was wondering if there were any pink names out there that would help me narrow down my decisions on boots. right now im looking in a very broad range. im looking for an all mountain boot but i will be doing some park skiing.
thanks

My wife just got FT Mary Janes & loved the fit. There also very light compared to the other woman specific boots she tried on.

You're going to get a lot of this: the best boot is the one that fits you, regardless of what the companies say it is good for.

A "women's specific" design might be the best for you, or depending on the length of your foot and height of your leg shaft a unisex boot might be the best option for you.

And always remember that simply because a boot fits someone else well, it does not mean that it is also good for you. Chances are likely that it is not the right boot for you, unless you both had the exact same foot shape, ankle structure, ankle flexibility, and leg shape. And to know that over the internet is next to impossible.

So, your best bet is to ask for good boot-fitters in your area and see what they recommend for your specific biomechanical needs. When you do that, you will find the most comfortable and best skiing boot. And don't go in to the shop with a certain boot in mind- having preconceived notions of what will work for you will only confuse you in the end. Just have an open mind and get what fits you and your needs.
