Good looking skis make you look good; well-fitted boots

make you feel good...

Once you put your skis under feet, you won't see them much but poorly fitted boots will scream back at you....

Trust me, I have been through all that and finally had a professional boot fitter for ski racers fit my boots and made a set of custom footbed for me. Made all the difference.

Used boots are already molded to someone else's foot and ankel shape and everyone's feet/ankel shape is different. That's why when I travel to ski, I may not take my skis with me but I will always have my boots with me. Skis I will rent, boots I won't.
