boots

can anyone offer me any advice about boots. going to borovets on first ski hol and bought my own boots. they fitted them properly to my size in the shop but i'm unsure about how tight they should be etc. i'm also going back to get the inner boot heat molded to my foot. do i need to buy footbeds and such like?
any advice would be much appreciated.

re: boots

Hi Lynne,
Before you go back to the shop to get anything done on the boots, wear them around the house, even if you are just watchin TV, for at least an hour.
Then, when you go back to the shop you will be able to point out anywhere they are pinching or to tight.
Gone are the days when ski boots are uncomfortable. Do them up until they are snug but no tighter. You should be able to move you toes but you foot should not slop around inside the boot.
The best people to advise should be ...
