bulgaria is cheaper but if you have a problem with the fit its a long way to go to get it sorted.go somewhere here that gives a full fitting service,you may pay more for them but at least you wont be in agony with them.dont be rushed in the shop either,if it takes hours to get the right fit then so be it .take it from me you dont want to be stuck up a mountain with boots that are crippling you.
