Ski Boots

Hi all,
I need to get some boots for my 13 year old daughter as she always has problems with rentals, can anyone advise me if it would be worth waiting until I get to borovets. Its not worth me paying a fortune as she's still growing, I have found a Ski warehouse in UK where they are under £100 for rossignal dont Know if there any good though.
Well me and the family looking forward to a great time be their on 7th Feb.

re: Ski Boots

You should be able to get a decent pair for under £100 in Boro - mine last year were £50 and do the job for a recreational skier who appreciates comfort above anything else. Paid more for an advance skier but still under £100. Used ski shop on left as you walk down from Rila, just before gondola junction.

As they are only likely to last 1 season maybe 2 at the most before her feet grow you could look at second hand or somewhere like Decathalon Sports in UK.

We always pack our boots ...

We always pack our boots in large wheelie sports bags with clothing packed around them to save on airline charges. They don't usually allow boots to be taken as hand luggage.

Have a great time.

re: Ski Boots

Kids have had 3 pairs of snowboard boots and I have had ski boots from the same place. Good prices. They've also done partX in the past the following year when the kids wanted to change them so it's possible you could get some good condition pre owned for little money.
We're out at the end of Feb. Have a good hol
