You will be so much more comfortable and in control if you go get fitted and buy boots. You probably won’t grow a whole lot more so boots should last you 2-3 seasons most likely. I would buy if I were you.

damn u paying that much for just boots
i used to pay 160 for the combo
but buy boots at 160 per year you might as well just buy some and have them fit.
TLDR buy full tilts

My boot size hasn’t changed since I was like 12. I’d say buy your own. It’s a world of difference.

Buy boots absolutely, you'll be so much more comfortable and you'll have them for a long time, you'll probably progress a lot too cuz boots that are just right for you are a giant confidence boost

I’m guessing that you're probably not going to grow much more, so buying your own boots would definitely be worth it. As long as you get a quality pair of boots that you get fitted, you'll be way more comfortable, you'll have more control, and shinbang should stop being a problem. Also you would be financially better off too. A pair of ski boots lasts forever. I've gone through several pairs of skis and bindings, but I'm still rocking ski boots that I got in 2012 lmao.

Dont rent. They hurt, they are softer than a cooked noodle and lord knows who was the last dude that wore it.

buying a low end boot will save ya a lot from hassle.

ever heard of punctuation?

in all seriousness, buy boots, you're 14 so you shouldn't grow too much more. get fitted, and it'll make skiing a hell of a lot more enjoyable.
