Hey I don't know much about boots and I've done some research but I still can't figure out what I want. I ski a lot of backcountry/tree skiing/ steeps, but I also do about 30% park. I'm looking for some boots (hopefully cheap) since my feet seem to grow non-stop that will get the job done. I am 6' 150 pounds if that helps.
Unfortunatly its inpossible for anyone to recomend you a boot as we have not seen your feet. Differnt brands make differnt shape boots and within 1 brand there can be various differnt shells. Because of this you need to at least go have your feet assesed by a boot fitter. They will be able to tell you the correct size and also what shapes will work for you best. If you really want you can then order those boots online, but much, much better is to buy them in a shop. That way you can have the boots fitted to your feet, this is not just choosing a boot. You can have footbeds made, liners molded and adapted and the shells worked on. This is the real fitting that will make the boots really work for you, and you simply cant get this buying online.
my feet are really flat too. and also in general are a really fucked up shape due to broken toes that weren't properly treated. thats where custom footbeds come into play. my foot is really narrow and im currently in krypon rampages and i also fit into 95mm lasted worldcup race boots. I cant specifically answer your question coz im not a bootfitter and its the internet but yea a bootfitter will give you a big smile at the end of you day skiing. good luck and go in with an open mind
