Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Hi Carolyn

I've just purchased new boots from the Ski Shop at Pembrey Country Park, Llanelli. Very good service it took 2 hours to get the correct boots then heat molded to my feet. Great value for money if you are intending to continue skiing for a long time.
There is also a very big ski shop in Penarth I think it's above a big garage on a busy junction, also a ski shop in Cowbridge behind the town hall but you might pay Cowbridge prices there.
Give Pembrey a try, Tiger Tim will hit you on this subject
I think and will agree with me.
Good advise from old dbut considering he's a united fan
Hello dbut good snow in Panorama.

S.P.

Definately get some boots of your own if problem feet... Make sure you go to a recommended place as I got some boots that fit all the criteria last season but they crippled me on hol. The prob had been noticed before and I went back to the shop but it still wasn't sorted. Almost ruined my Holiday.

Have sorted now though (bought some new ones from Ellis Brigham) and the original shop in question gave me a voucher to the value of the old boots after accepting liability (without much of a fight I might add).

Good luck on your hunt, hope you enjoy many years skiing

I bought ski boots last year (Italian Technica Attivo boots), with heat moulded insoles and even though I am told by the supplier that they are just fine for me and a perfect fit, I really do not find them particularly comfortable though cannot really say why. They just don't feel 'right' somehow.

The other week I came across a pair of quaintly-named 'rear-entry' boots, quite battered, but in my size in a charity shop for £4.99. I tried them on and it was like slipping into my slippers at home so I bought them! I've put in my expensive made-just-for-me insoles and they are fabulous! Who cares if they are battered and tatty and I don't look so cool? They feel 'right'.

My new boots happen to be the right size for my daughter and she says they feel good to her (around the house anyway) so I just need to get her the heated insoles and hopefully we are all set.

To add to the above, comfort is everything. Get sorted before you leave home so you can have any problems fixed, and go to a big dealer/store with a good reputation even if it means travelling some distance.
