Ski Boots

Alright so today since it's my birthday me and my mom went to our local ski shop to just look around and see if there was anything I wanted. Well I started looking at boots since i've never had a new pair. After trying on a few pairs I found the Technica Pheonix boots fit really well. I was wondering whether or not if anyone knew of boots that have a very similar fit. We don't have any other places really near us so I don't want to drive a couple hours to some place that won't sell any boots that have a fit that I like. Thanks in advance for any and all responses and +k for them as well.

All boot shops will sell boots in the wider 102mm+ category. It's best to research who is the better boot-fitter in your area rather than look specifically for certain boots.

Yeah it's just the fact that the closest place that would do anything close to help you get a good fitted boot is 2.5 hrs + away.

That's not really tht far. To get your boots right will always be worth a trip. Good footbeds and shell work are not something every bootfitter can do, so as onenerdy said research which shops have well regarded fitters an make a trip out of it.
