Nicklt, Ski boots ? Lockwoods at Leamington Spa is the answer. Go see CEM

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

Nicklt, if you want to buy in the UK then Lockwoods at Leamington Spa are very highly regarded.

Nicklt, At risk of seeming like i stalk your every post, Lockwoods is the place to go (or so i'm told) and you can get there very easily by train from brum.
I may even take a trip there myself very soon.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

ski, CEM no longer works with Lockwoods, he has his own set up but he does, I believe, have an agreement about skiboots with them. Try to go to the clinic there on the 23rd or that week

Nicklt, Lockwoods are very friendly and if you book with them for half-term week you get a 10% 's discount (I believe) - no vested interests.
They gave me a very good deal on 4 avalanche transponders last year (my son is at Warwick Uni so very convenient to drop in while visiting him).

No CEM no longer works at Lockwoods - That said they will definitely be able to sort you out for boots and its only a short drive from Brum.

Curtains, I too have X-Wave 8s about 2 years old. I think I ski a similar level to you although have been more frequently than you in recent years (my kids are now old enough to let me go with my mates)Great boot for me very comfy and have custom fit in-soles. Unfortunately have no experience of your local S+R
