I am looking for some new boots for this season and found the Bo$$ on sale, but i cant seem to find any info on the boot. Anybody have any first hand experience with it? Or knowledge of it in general?

I am willing to bet that a good bootfitter would know lots about them

Honestly until you know if they fit you it's totally irrelevant what other people think of them

If you have skinny feet you're going to be fucked. They have something like 105 or 106 mm last

all the specs i have seen are around 103, im currently in 100mm last boot, (I think) its old as shit. But I am hoping that 103 is not that noticeable of a difference. Everything about the boot seems sick except for the wide last.

Sorry about that, I looked it up to, did nth realize it was 103mm. I'd says buy them from somewhere where you could return the, if they're too wide. But going to a boot fitter wou,d be wise

I know, the problem is I live in southern california and there aren't the best options for boot fitting around here (REI, Dicks, etc...) I ordered them from the REI site so i can return them to the store at no charge and get a full refund. Hope they fit though.

If you were in a 100mm mast boot going to a 103mm is not going to work unless you has to have you old boot stretched quite a bit 3mm is quite a big jump in last. If you are ordering from rei why not just go there first and have them look at your feet? Your going to need the. Fitting anyway so you may as well have just got the rei near you to fit the. From the start.

Well if they don't fit just don't buy them. See what else they have if they te not perfect, don't be put off by price the right fit is the most important factor. Make sure they have a good fitter working when you go in.

Thanks for the advice man, I had my last pair of boots fitted with a really good fitter so i think i know what im looking for, the threads on here for boot buying have also been helpful.

I bought these boots at the start of last season and love them. I do have a wider foot so thats why i bought them but other than that they have been great boots super comfy and nice all season no pain spots at all. If you are looking for a wider boot this is a great option. Best boots I have ever owned.
