What do you think are the best make and model ski boots for advanced skiiers?

Question

At the moment i'm leaning towards the atomic B70 boots or possibly some salomons, what do you think are the best brand and make?

Answer 1

go for racing boots. As a racer I can tell you they are by far the best skiing boots available on the market. They are pretty tight though, so ask whoever sells them to you to go a few sizes bigger than you might normally. I have a pair of technica diablos and love them.

Answer 2

Lange. I race, and they are the best i've ever used. Please get them

Answer 3

Je prefer Technica

cheerio!

Answer 4

you really need to check the fit. i have flat feet so there are only a few boots that fit me.  the one i use is head but ive heard good things about both those companies so if they fit you go for it.

for me the name brand matters for nothing if the fit isnt there

Answer 5

don't go for a specific brand at all. most brands make both high end and low end boots, and asking people what they think the best brand/make of boot is will get you nowhere.

go to a boot fitter that is experienced in fitting race boots and they will fit you with the proper type and make of boot.. and don't go to sport chek!!

if you're in BC (vancouver or whistler), you should check out snow covers. I don't know of any good shops outside of BC.

ps. just a little hint, skier is spelled with one "i"

Answer 6

Get the ones that fit your feet correctly. Then make adjustments to fine tune them for you needs.  Both of those brands are good boots, I've used both over the years, and I'm in my  boots about 40 hours a week. The fine tuning must include foot beds, canting, alignment, ramping and flex adjustments all must match your body and your ski/binding package to work as a total system. As little as .5mm difference in one direction or another will impact how you ski and how much your feet love you.
