Hi BW...
Could be, is he really keen on skiing ?? could be worth investing in his own boots.
Check e-bay, have just bought top line Salomon with one weeks use for £95.00.
Just get him to try a few pairs in your local ski shop for sizing and then keep your eyes open for that model and size and get a bargain...
Appreciate that manufacturers produce their boots slightly differant, if you were to try a Salomon in say size 30.5 mondo it will be the same fit through their range.
If your son ...

If your son was happy with the fit of a certain manufacturer then you could fairly safely buy any boot in that manufacturers range...
I worked and subsequently owned a ski shop (a few years ago) but i am sure what i am saying still applies...
Hope this helps

re: big foot
Just one problem Steve ...hes still growing ...changes shoe size every year or there about ..he is still only 14 ...i would invest in a pair of boots if i knew they were gonna last him..i hope he will stop growing soon ...he is 6ft 2 and 46 chest hes well past me by ...thats why im hesitant about being able to get ski hire boots for himre: big foot
Hmmm... See what you are saying, i suppose then all i could suggest is to try to contact the hire outlet possibly through Balkan and confirm the availability of boots

I am reasonably certain that they will have suitable boots but i can understand your concern. Don`t dismiss the e-bay option, i have seen boots as cheap as £10.00 which would have been suitable for beginner/intermediate..
I know its no consolation but your ...
