The thing is im thinking should i spend $400-500 on ski boots or keep the $ b/c i could use it for other daily stuff and rent boots again. IDK what i should do? comment plz

im confused...

you have skis but yet you RENT boots every yr?

boots should be the FIRST thing you BUY!!!

absolutly, under no circumstances should you ever rent boots, unless your a noob skiier from texas....

so yea, buy them boots son!!!

boots are the most important thing you buy

they secure your foot and IMO its worth droppin more $$$ on boots that are legit and super comfy and give your foot good support (and havent been worn by 20 other people wit different size feet)

then go to the skis

thats the way iv always done it

I can tell you right now if you spend a little time actually looking and trying boots on, you wont spend anywhere near $400-$500. Boots are key though. I would reccommend getting your own.

Have a quick read through on this, it might help a bit: https://newschoolers.com/web/forums/readthread/thread_id/311248/


Boots are the platform of your skiing. You can have the best skis, and the best bindings, but if your boots dont fit, you can have the worst experience on the slopes.

You can spend as low as 100$ and all the way up to 900$ on boots. Just try on a bunch, and get what fits. If a 150$ rec boot fits, buy it. If a 300$ freestyle specific boot fits best, get it.
