Since no foot is the same, I'd go to a ski specific store and try on as many boots as you can and pick the best ones. You want something that fits well, but isn't too tight or too loose. Then, if you have the money to do so, get custom insoles. Remember, boots do loosen up, so if they feel slightly tight when you first try them, they probably won't after you use them a number of times.

That may or may not have helped. I don't know. Alot of people like the 1080 boots.

1080 def. Very solid construction with the metal buckles and all.

Lange CRL 90s are good too. But you gotta try one on a fit them. Different company boots fit different (I know that Atomic is fairly wide, Rossi is kinda middle of the road, Lange is narrow, for example)

For that price range, youu can get a Nordica Beast, or Lange FR120s. Both very solid, quality boots.

salomon 1080 is really the only way to go. ive had mine for like 3 seasons and theyve held up really well, i've landed flat a bunch and the linings havent really tracked out. the shell is soft, but not noodley, and the buckles are easy to work. i could easily go another year in these suckas

for flat landings, alot of flex is more important than padding (dr scholls gel inserts fix that).
I would stroungly suggest dallbello boots, specifically thre zx supersports. they are a 3 peice shell, have a TON of really soft progressive flex, and fit good (at least for me.) there are also a billion little adjustment thingers.
