My salomon spks are getting really small on me. I am looking for new boots. I found a good deal on last years full tilt b&e which seem super sick. I also found a good deal on last years classics which i dont know much about. Also dropkicks from last year. I dont want to spend too much money. I am leaning toward the b&e but please help me out. I weigh about 130 pounds of that helps. Thanks

If you don't know the width of your foot I doubt you know your instep height, heel/ankle width ect. Begin by going to a shop and have a fitter asses you feet. If you really want to pay him for his time then and go find some boots online. But this is a really bad idea and will in the long run be pretty costly. Instead have that fitter select apropriate boots, make you some footbeds and fit the boots to you. Yes it will cost more but they will fit and you will ski better and have way more fun then if your in some badly fitting boots.

WTF toastyteens? Hes a size 9 he should be about a 27. But definitely go to a boot fitter or a ski shop to make sure that it fits right before you buy.

Do not buy 'size 9' ski boots. I guarantee they'll be too big. Go to a boot fitter and get them to have a look - then you'll end up with a pair of boots that fit well, and are comfortable!

I have last years full tilt drop kicks and I love them (I have a wide foot but they're still comfy) but the buckles can be a bit finnicky.
