it's not like certain boots aren't going to work for non park skiing. they all attach you to skis don' they? you just need to find a pair that fit your feet right. IT MIGHT NOT BE FULL TILTS OF SPK'S. just go to a bootfitter. and if you're like 12-15, maybe wait till you stop growing to get an expensive pair.

Tom Wallisch FTs used. Go get fitted though! Really important, then go buy em off craigslist because it is hard to find boots that cheap. Also if you have a smaller foot check out some womens boots, they may have stupid graphics but they fit so good and ski great

best to just buy used boots off of here cause for 300 you wont find much. boots are your main equipment for if you arent comfortable you wont have a fun time skiin

thats the worst thing that you can do, never ever buy boots without trying them (or at least trying a different size to know HOW they feel, and then get a different size)

if you dont have one in your town, then i would suggest to just wait until you have the chance to get to one, or at least take a day off to do that ride, it's very well worth it...

I had a kid from NS drive 5 hours each way to get his boots fit by me. I'm not saying you have to drive that far, but this is your most important piece of ski equipment, don't chince on it.

Search out some boot-fitters, and go see them. Your feet, your ankles, your shins, your knees will thank you.

he works for atomic.

if you're within some close distance to vermont, go there, ski a few days, and drop into the ski rack. a great shop with some good fitters.

If you are still growing I would go to a store and try some nice boots on and find one that you like. Then go to ebay or something and try finding a used pair or something for cheap. Just a suggestion

yup dont buy brand spanking new expensive boots till your feet stop growing because you can only use them for one season and then they dont fit. ive never bought new boots, only old used ones
