re: Buying boots

Great shop under Hotel Ela across from Samokov.
But ask your instructor for advice. George came with me and helped out, bought excellent boots for less than £100 and on third week now.
However my 'ski buddy' bought out there and has had a lot of trouble with his, and he was told back here that they had sold him narrow bigger boots for his smaller wider feet, If he now has them strecthed to fit the width his feet will slide about, so he is managing with shaped insoles,
So get them there ...

So get them there if you have average feet and get chance to try them before you come home.

I'd better make it clear that he didn't buy from shop under hotel Ela. I did and have had no trouble.
