Women's ski boots

The "Lady Gabber" forum looked dead so here I am. Any suggestions for women's ski boots? Or where to get fitted for them in Pennsylvania? My local shop does not have a park selection for women and it seems like everywhere I call locally doesn't have women's ~full tilts~ so any suggestions would be appreciated!

If you post in lady gabber someone will definitely answer, but what are you looking for from your boot? What kind of skiing do you do? Where do you ski? What do you weigh how tall are you?
 
Okay maybe I’ll have to post in there as well. But I’m looking for a boot that I can hit features and jumps in. My home mountain is Roundtop so lots of ice and not a lot of powder lol

Do you love this shit? Are you high right now? Do you ever get nervous?
 
1. buy the boot that fits. It may be marketed as a "park" boot or it may be a "race" boot. Trust your boot-fitter and get what works for your foot shape, ankle flexibility, weight, height.

2. find the best boot-fitter in your area or where you will be skiing. Literally Google "best ski boot fitter in ...."
 
Lol I have googled and called around a bunch but the problem is there’s just not a lot of women’s park boots where I am. I was just hoping someone on here might know of a random place in PA or a neighboring state that sells women’s full tilts or something similar

Don’t buy full tilts just because they are marketed as park skiing boots. Plenty of pros ride race boots in the park
 
I’m definitely open to other boots. What other ones would you suggest?

If you list all the features you want in a boot there’s some super helpful people here that’ll tell you what boots fit that desire set so you have a good idea of what to try on when you get a chance.

But that's exactly the point of what we are saying - get the boot that fits and ignore if it is "made" for park or not. The Original Full Tilt is a world cup race boot from the 80s. Making a "park" boot is a myth. If you get the boot that fits your feet, leg structure, etc. you will have a boot that works in park, powder, groomers, etc.

Every brand makes awesome boots. And what works for one person might be horrible for you and what someone else hates might be your perfect shoe. It doesn't matter what other people like. It matters what works for you and only a reputable boot-fitter is going to be able to figure that out for you. When you find the fitter, you will find your boot.

Where in PA are you? Perhaps let's start there and see which shops should be at the top of your list.
 
Hi, I’m in PA, Philly. Come stop by Buckmans Ski Shop. I’m in the Ardmore location and can fit you. Send me a PM. Got a homie in the Whitehall location that can fit you too if that’s closer.

Don’t worry I agree! I’m aware there’s not a pure “park boot.” It’s just when I went to my closest shop they literally had like 3 options for me so I wanted to hear what else there was out there. I’ll definitely take all of your guys suggestions and get fitted and check out multiple stores to see what works best!

Oh yeah I didn’t mean to imply that you were stuck on a “park boot” I’ve just been saying it for a while and people seem to still think otherwise. Definitely go to a fitter and see what makes your foot happy. It might be a pain to find a good fitter and go through that process but you’ll support a local shop and you’ll make your feet and wallet way happier in the long run!
