Sup ns, so long story short, I have enough money to either buy my dream skis, (On3p Magnus) or a new pair of boots, currently riding a pair of descendant4s and I love them, but the liners are starting to get packed out which is causing a pressure point on my heel making them unpleasant when skiing switch or skating across flat areas etc. I would just buy a new pair of liners but i found a good deal descendant 6s and would only be paying 75 dollars more for a new pair of boots, so the question is , dream skis or comfortable feet.

Get the skis skis and save for intuition liners and other boot upgrades is what I would do. you can make the descendant 4s work until you can afford to upgrade them to be the same as the 6s with all the parts available on the fulltilt website. also intuition liners can be found cheaper than on the full tilt site

boots are the most important part of skiing so make sure you are happy with what you have. skis can be found much cheaper and are easier to get than a pair of boots that fits you properly. It doesnt sound like you got fitted, which is a mistake.

I vote new boots that includes bootfitting services and get the skis another time when they are on sale

I actually did get fitted and also got custom foot beds, just I went with the cheaper option on boots and I ski a lot so the liners are packed out especially around that area, but I actually found a good deal on new liners and am going to get the skis and liners
