 Poster: A snowHead

I have a problem with the width and height of ski boots as I am 1.78 m with narrow feet foot size European 39 to 40. Does anyone have any experience of ski boot designs that have female fit with taller heights and variable foot widths. Men's boots can be good for the height but the width is useless my feet just slop about in the space and I have to buckle to boots so tightly it is uncomfortable. I have now tried all sorts of boots so suggestions welcome.

Go to a reputable boot fitter. If you let the Snowheads know where you are, I'm sure there will be some recommendations. I find Salomon boots to have a narrow fitting, or there are other options such as vacuum moulding, or specialist fitted liners which may help

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Czuniga, most manufacturers make a narrow boot in the sizes you are looking for, most important thing is one that fits your foot shape and if you are tall with long levers (legs) you need a more upright boot so that you don't walk /ski around all day in a "Z" shape as you are flexed too far forward at the ankle
most mens and womens boots are the same last (width) though, so you may not have been looking in the right places, the normal differences are they make the womens boots in a different colour, lower the cuff by 10-15mm and slap a bit of fur round the liner
find a boot fitter rather than a boot seller, it will make all the difference

Maybe a narrow race boot, the junior ones for teens have much lighter flexes. But I'm a bloke with slim ankles and I went for a foam fitted liner with my last boots. That really does make a difference. A good boot fitter will discuss options.
