Boot Buying Help
So Im buying another crappy pair of skis, crappy bindings and crappy boots cuz im still growing a lot so I don't want to buy a nice expensive setup and be too big for it next year... So Ive got skis and bindings picked out but I need a pair of boots and I have no clue what I want to buy, I need a good pair that aren't too heavy, good for park and ok for the rest of the mtn, they can be 27.-28.5 and im hoping for a pair under $150 if possible... any suggestions will help
Go to a boot fitter. Also, this should be in gear talk
Gear talk. Also, spend good money on boots. The performance difference between shit=boots and good boots is worth it, and if/when you grow out of them you can sell them for not a ton but at least part of the money back. For example, a $400 pari can be resold for maybe $100-150, so you really only spent $250
Salomon SPK are quite decent and you could find a new pair in your price range. I think you shouldn't consider buying used ones tho.
Pragur_m8Salomon SPK are quite decent and you could find a new pair in your price range. I think you shouldn't consider buying used ones tho.
Why? I've done both and using used boots is fine

this guy is right. salomon spk are amazing. last year I was in some Nordica racing boots and they were killing my shins. then I bought some spk's and my shins were great!!! the spk is the best boot out there.
Only first two posts of this thread are useful. Go to boot fitter
TLDR BUY FULLTILTS ONLINE NOT DEPENDING ON FIT BUT BY HOW IT LOOKS, TRUST ME
!50 no way get fulltilt they last and are the best
Look at sierra trading post they often have 30-40% off coupon codes. Although I recently got a pair of full tilt classics for 180 brand new from rei with enough left over to buy another tongue and some footbeds
okay one, yeah gear talk. 2 get a pair of good boots, but if you wanna save money cuz your growing (we have all been in your boots ;) ) get used you can find great high performance boots that are used and well within your 150 budget also figure out your true size, none of this 27-28.5 bullshit boots are the most important part of your skiing and need to fit perfectly.
