Buying first pair of boots - Denver
Posts: 89

I'm from Colorado, 16 and trying to get my first pair of ski boots, tired of ill-fitting season rentals. I'm from a small town, but I'll be in Denver for a few hours on Tuesday and wondering if you guys have any suggestions on the best place to go for a boot fitting? Also, is it even worth it for me to get a good fitting since my feet may still be growing a little? I'll probably resell any boots I buy if my feet grow, but should I just buy a pretty good fit and not worry about the details of professional boot fitting? Extra information: I do own my own skis, just have always rented boots. I ski park a lot but also ski all mountain and powder

If you can, make the quick trip up to Boulder to go to Larry's boot fitting. One of the best shops out there, Larry knows his stuff

at 16 your feet probably arent going to be growing any more to be honest. I've been in the same size boot/shoe since I was 13 all I gotta say is listen to the boot fitter you go too dont go in there with expectations that what you want is whats going to fit your foot the best because that is rarely the case.

Thanks guys I couldn't make it to Boulder so I went to Colorado Ski and Sports instead in Denver. Definitely recommend it, they had great selection (All big brands including Full Tilt), and the boot fitter was definitely knowledgeable, never asked me my foot size, only measured and asked about my type of skiing, etc.
