I'm sure that someone will be able to tell you a number of websites where you can buy ski equipment at a discount etc. However, you may want to consider going into one of the specialist ski shops first and seek the advice of an expert about what type of boot you should be looking for according to: a) your elvel of experience b) your foot shape c) your build etc. All of which are factors that will affect the type of boot that is best for you.

I tried on the first pair, it was like putting on socks - tried on others, but nothing else was as comfortable.
