Best cheap boots?

Could use some advice from more experienced skiers.

Long story short: Snowboarded for 8 years and wanted to get into skiing, but couldn't find gear that I could afford. Finally found some Icelantice Danollies super cheap end of last season and got them mounted up (stoked!). Skied a couple of days on ancient boots that hurt pretty bad. Have recently been looking for park boots but can't find any cheap enough.

The question: What are some decent cheap boots that will work for park riding? (If you want to offer to sell me some I would greatly appreciate it! Size 28)

Thanks

Or he could go to a boot fitter? It'd be much better than buying a boots online. Plus there is no "best" boot, as everyone has different feet, so get the boot that fits you best.
 
get just about anything you can find then spend some money getting a molded insoleworks for me

although boots are pretty much the most important part of skiing for me anyway so i try not to skimp.
 
boots are thee most important piece of ski equipment you will own. spending more than you planned on boots fitted to you by a bootfitter will definitely pay off in the long run. you buy cheap slightly used boots now half a season/full seasons time they will be done, but fitted properly into some new boots can stay with you for at least a couple of seasons ( unless your a kid who cares too much about having this years gear) My advice is go to a fairly sizeable and respectable ski shop either local to you or at a resort and explain to the bootfitter what kind of skiing you're going to be doing and your level of skiing, and explain you are on a bit of a budget, and try on a bunch of boots they suggest and more. until you find one that fits your foot shape, unless you want to go down the road of heat moulding which will be more expensive. If its more than you hoped, that little extra could be the difference between having to end your days early because you have sore feet, and not wanting to take your boots of at the end of the day when lifts shut. p.s. there is not such thing as "park boots", you can ride all boots in all conditions just some are more catered to different conditions and will perform better.
 
The best boots are the ones that fit your feet the best. Don't listen to kids here saying that SPKs are the best boots, or Full Tilts. Neither will be any good if they don't fit well. You don't even need "park" boots to ski rails and jumps.

Since you are new to skiing and therefore probably don't know exactly how ski boots should fit, I recommend you go to a bootfitter. Find someone who knows what he/she is doing and get the boots that fit you the best. They're the most important piece of equipment after all.
 
Don'y cheap out on a pair on boots since that's what you will be wearing all day. Just go to a boot fitter and find a comfortable boot. Last thing you want is to get a cheap boot that doesn't fit and your in pain all day.
