What boots to look into

I know I need to try on different boots to see which fits the best. What would you guys recommend I try on? I had last years Bandit Elite 1 and I really liked them, might get another pair.

What are some other brands/models to try on?

I've got a medium/narrow foot. Ski mostly off the groomed, park skiing in the spring.
 
It seems langes are really popular and I'm in the market too. I have really wide feet are langes wide or narrow?
 
He knows his stuff, id personaly recomned flexons with the stiff tounge if you can find them and kryptons as the readily available backup (also an amazing boot). Just go to your ski shop and try on everything though, boots are tough to review for others because of the fit factor.
 
It all matters on what fits you, but if you can get flexons buy them.

Get thermoflex liners, foot beds, and they will be the best boots ever.

Stiff tounge is also good. I had comps, which had the medium tounge. I swapped them with a stiffer tounge. My new flexons are pros, so they have the stiffer tounge. If your interested in getting flexons PM me.
 
look into lange if uve got feet narrow enuf 2 fit them. nordicas got a nice offering 2 in the beast and the higher performance speedmachine.

by the way, the 1080 foil isnt sick. its one of the sloppiest, most uncomfortable boots ive ever felt in my life.
 
Lange boots have a good fit for you. try and stay away from salamon tecnica and head because they make wider boots. What you should really do is go to a shop with a good boot fiter (the freeskier buyers gide as a list in the back, I think) and they will help you find the perfec fit especialy if you have the money to pay for a lot up to $800 on a pair of boots custom fit. but if you cant get a boot fiter remeber to take along a ski sock and the boot should be a little tight because it will pack out.
 
Lange makes the best boots if you can fit in them...the new Comp 120 Freerides have a medium fit so you don't have to have quite as narrow of a foot to fit. If you can't fit into a Lange, sorry you miss out on the best boots on the market.
 
lange crl90s are what i got, and they're pretty sick. quite flexy (but i think there's better out there) and they fit my narrow foot really nice.
