Ski boot help

So I have a problem. My feet are rather large and I am looking for new ski boots. The specifics are: mondopoint 31.5, all-mountain, advanced-expert skill level.

I've shopped around and can't really find something I like. I've looked on all the big websites and even manufacturer websites but havent found much and really just need to utilize other people's knowledge, any help is welcome.

*Also figured this might be good for other people who have big feet above the usual maximum of 30.5

Probably a good idea, do they do custom orders though?

A bootfitter at your local ski shop can also function as a salesman for you meaning they will be able to work with their suppliers to get you the right boot.

They can do custom foot beds for your feet, if the boot is to small they can grind a little shell away or heat the boots to expand them. If keel lock is weak they can also add padding to keep the heel pressed back in place where it should be. Heat mold them to your feet as well. Everything will be designed to your specific foot and lower leg.

I'd only get upset at an established member here asking these questions, new people wandering in to ask questions get grace.

If by big feet you mean wider than normal I would suggest taking a look at Rossi track 130s, they have a 104 last and large sizes

U have feet length, width, instep, arch, calf, etc measurements that are unique to your body, ski sites offer only 2 parameters to play with, go see boot fitter, based on his advice order, and do final touches


You can get free advice and decide which route to go;


consider day of riding on average 100$, boots 700$ max, online sale will give u 400$, does $300 worth sacrificing all season?

I am a professional boot fitter.

hmmm, Idk you may have an altered arch... Best to send me orthographic pictures of your feet. DM me asap!!

And by orthographic I mean a side and top view, aswell if you can pull off a dynamic angle feet side by side would be perfect.
Make sure your socks are off I want to assure you the best of service but you gotta help me help you, I won't be able to read your feet with the socks on.
