Comfortable Boots Thread

Lots of people on here complain about their boots but I know there’s people out there that love the way their boots fit.

I bought my boots 2 seasons ago, and they were waaay too big because I was dumb. Somehow when my feet grew over 3 years the boots molded themselves to the shape and now the boots are the most comfy thing in the world.

I always wear them in the car to the hill (45 min) and there have been times where I’ve just left them fully buckled the whole time.

Can anyone relate?

Sounds too loose tbh.. I rode a 29.5 for like 5 years before realizing I was supposed to be in a 27.5. Because its comfortable you don't really question it, but when you get into a pair of performance fit boots you will realize how much of a difference it makes to your skiing. There's a reason you see so many racers/pros on the lifts/chilling with their buckles undone.. Boots should fit TIGHT when bucked down

I am a size 18 shoe and wear a 24.5, and drive up to the hill in them. I actually wear my boots to school because they’re much more comfortable than my street shoes. I skate in my boots too. My boots are essentially on my feet 24/7

My boots are tight and don't need to be unbuckled. Best damn boots I've ever owned. Goddamn Salomon xmax 130 with a custom footboard and fitted. Worth every goddamn cent

Ok one time I passed out at a party with my boots on and they slid my skis in with the tailes under the couch and like 8 dudes yelled me awake I woke up and jumped up and promptly double ejected and ate shit into a table which broke and then they threw beer at me


Then everyone clapped.. I swear
