ski boot purchase in Borovets

Hi

Can anyone recommend a good shop in Borovets for ski boot purchase? I remember a few little outlets but it would be useful to know which have good reputations etc.

I'm an intermediate level skiier but if I'm honest I don't know all that much about skis and boots - I've always hired - so it would be quite easy for someone to pull the wool over my eyes when I go shopping
Confused

cheers

Smile There are several shops that sell boots, have a browse around a few. A good shop is next to the White Majic Bar opposite the Samokov hotel there is an excellent selection there and again also down by the gondola for good deals. Very Happy

Thanx for all the replies, I'm in Hotel Ela this year so it's good to know that the shop by the Gondola is recommended, only 50 yds away.

Hotie Babe Gemma xx (great name btw), I've done Snow and Rock, there's one here in Bristol, they are great but for an intermediate boot you've gotta pay around £180 according to their gradings for an intermediate+ boot (I rate 7/8 on their gradings). I know I can get similar boots cheaper in Bulgaria. E-bay is great, I may pick up some blades this week ...

Try skiwear4less.com, you can get snow blades for £60. I brought mine in Borovets last year and they cost more than £60.
