That's a great help, many thanks for your reply to.Have a great holiday !!!. Could I ask a big favour, whilst you are there, could you ask if they go up to a Size 13 boot. My email address is [email protected].
I'd also love to hear about your experience on your return. This is the first time ski-ing for my wife and I, her brother ( the size 13 ) and friend.

Slightly off topic but i would advise you won't buy boots of eBay or 2nd hand. Boots are such a personal thing and if you are going to buy, spend a bit more money and go to a good bootfitter. It will save you alot of pain and money.re: Ski Boots
don't forget that each manufacturers boots will differ in size & fit - Salomon are a very tight/close fit - rossignols are generally quite slack - so take care when buying without trying - i'd advise contacting the ski-wharehouse or your local ski-centre and see if they have branch near you as the SWH do a fairly decent boot called Dalbello or around £80.00+ . I've bought lots of boots on ebay and the prices are great but only if you know the boot your looking for - i wouldn't take the risk ...
