I am going to borovets skiing on the 11th of marchi am wondering about buying some ski boots.
Should i get them before or while i am there?
Will they be cheaper there for the same boot?
Also what is a good boot for an intermediate skier?
Thanks
re: Ski boots?
You need to get to a ski shop and get your foot measured correctly. The UK is one of the cheapest places in the world to buy ski kit from these days especially now as the end of season sales are starting.re: Ski boots?
cool may get some here then, Any brands or type of boot recommended?re: Ski boots?
Best just to get your foot measured first mike. Loads of brands but every brand and boot has a different shape which is good for different feet. eg I ski in Tecnica diablo fires which are a wide boot with a narrow ankle so suit by foot.
Boot fitting is a trained profession. Get to your local store, expect to spend at least an hour there getting measured, trying on different boots etc. Wear thin ski socks (peeps shouln't need thick socks these days) and don't be affraid to say if a boots to ...

After all, the boot fitter will want to get it right so you don't need any adjustments done later but on that note, don't be affraid to take them back later if they are uncomfortable to get any adjustments done.

I got a good pair of boots over in borovets for 250 levs. I didn't have a problem with them. Just one question for people who know more than me. When you come back form skiing holiday how would you recommend you dry out your boots?re: Ski boots?
Inners out and place them in a airing closest (handy to give them a quick spray with Fabreze). Clean the shells with a cloth and dry them inside and out. Once they are dry (and clean) put the inners back in, do the buckles up (not too tight) and store them somewhere (not in direct sunlight) dry and at room temp.re: Ski boots?
Thanks very much for that. I appreciate it.re: Ski boots?
i brought mine in borovets last year and they were a lot cheaper than in the UK for the actual boot i brought. Good fitting in borovets. Im flying out again this saturday yippee cant wait
re: Ski boots?

What sort of money were your boots over there also how much is 250 lev?

I bought i intermediate=advanced salomon boot for just over £100... thats £200 less than over here.

Ps, i would add that ski retailers are about to hit sale season so make sure that you are always doing the best deal.
