 Poster: A snowHead
|
I am looking at the possibility of replacing my trusty Technica boots which have served me well for about 6 years. I might best describe myself as a reasonably fearless intermediate, 6' and weighing in at about 17 stone. I also have quite wide feet. Is there any particularly good guidance around what make/model of boot I should be looking for, or is just finding something that fits comfortably the only objective. I can't really comment on whether my current boots are good or bad (I can ski all day in them with no discomfort*), and have nothing to compare with to state whether I am looking for more or less flex, or a higher cuff etc etc, so any advice would be welcome.
*So why replace them? OH couldn't decide what to get me for Christmas, so offered up the idea of getting boots bought & fitted in resort....

AdrianV, what resort? A good boot fitter will take away the need for you to make the choice.

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

AdrianV, probably best asking for advice on a good boot fitter in Wengen, he will be able to look at your foot and tell you what you need.

So, are weight/height/standard not particular considerations - just foot shape?

AdrianV, just one for a boot fitter to make and not something that should be of real concern to you.. a good boot fitter will select the right boot for you given an honest account of ability and assessing weight etc.
CEM is a snowHead (http://www.solutions4feet.com/) who gets pretty damn good reviews round here, whilst I have never been or know him personally, I get the impression he is the best person to visit should you need boots! I understand he is pretty busy so I'd book in advance;)
