Ski Boot Reviews

[magicman1]

Hello, looking for advice on buying my first pair of boots. Should I ever pay attention to "reviews" of different boots or "park/freestyle" vs "all-mountain boots" etc.. I see that a lot of people love full tilts, but I tried all of them on and none really fit my foot. Should I base my decision solely on what fits me the best and disregard branding and reviews?

Fit is most important

Yea there’s no point spending money on a boot that looks swag and lots of people like if it doesn’t feel right on your foot.

Ski boot reviews are a load of shit. Who cares about the technology if the boot doesn’t fit. Get fitted for boots. It’s the one thing I encourage to spend money on.

Long story, short: go see a boot-fitter and find out what is right for your subjective needs

If you can buy from a place that will fit you in the first place but provide a fit/performance guarantee in the event you find the boot doesn't work for you.

Thanks guys, ended up trying about 20 different boots and went with the Technica Mach 1 120 HV, was the only thing that fit my wide/high in-step chode of a foot.

Nice dude. I’ve got tecnica Mach 1s in a LV. Total opposite end of the spectrum!
