1st of all good luck, second if you wear a 25.5 do NOT get a 27, you could hurt your self, break your foot and just be too loose to even use. If you are going to buy that cheap anyways get your own size. The boots will compac out with time and you should be fine.

good luck

OR you could travel back in time to the 70's, I think they sold brand new boots for that price.

why so big? you thinking you are gonna be growin? the thing with ski boots is they gotta be form fitting to perform well and like fakie said, you can bust yourself if they are too big and loose. ebay is a great way to go, but i would also be looking out right now at the end of this summer for local ski swaps. you can always find some cheap deals there. or ask your local shop if they got any used stuff for sale.

100 bucks?! good luck especially if you want them to last a few years, you're gonna have to go to at least 300 for a decent boot

yeah my boots were a tiny bit too big last season and i always stubbed my big toes landing big jumps cuz my foot would slide forward into the boot and slam against the front that tiny bit. i still have blue toenails from that shit. save your pennies and at least spend like 200 and get the right size. nordica makes good boots that are pretty cheap, check them out.

i think i think i like it like thata

I say try on whatever you have in the local shop (new or used) and choose the ones that fit the best. Like snonasty said, stubbing your toes hurts, I had that last year.

Boots, to me, are the most important part of your set-up. If they're uncomfortable, you're not going to enjoy being up skiing.

To the person who said 'I spend my money on my skis', well, you are retarded. Skis don't really mean much when it comes to your skiing skill and style and whatever, whereas boots can make a difference. If it's uncomfortable to land you'll be finding a way of landing that's more comfortable for you which could look kinda dumb, or you could not go big at all because of the pain.

I keep buying relatively expensive ones, and then growing out of them. It sucks.

Spend mo' money on the boot, your skis aren't going to hurt at the end of the day... You can get brand new Dalbello's for cheap on closeout for a little more than $100...
