Kyle Posted November 25, 2014 Report Posted November 25, 2014 I picked up a pair of line after bangs and bindings from my one of my friends for dirt cheap so I'm getting back into skiing this year but I have a couple questions about boots and sizing as I have no clue how it works really. I'm looking at full tilts line of boots. Size 8 shoe, what size boot should I be looking for? 26?
poconoceancity Posted November 25, 2014 Report Posted November 25, 2014 Yes add the two numbers together. I'm a 28 since I'm a size 10. 1

Proper fitting Boots are the most important part of your equipment.. 2
Mixilplix Posted November 25, 2014 Report Posted November 25, 2014 Full Tilt has two widths with there boots...I think the Booter and the High Five are the wider ones...The rest of the line is narrow...Find a dealer and try some on...I got back into skiing last year and found these boots super comfortable....
Kyle Posted November 25, 2014 Author Report Posted November 25, 2014 NO! Go to a shop and get fitted.... Proper fitting Boots are the most important part of your equipment.. That is definatley on the list. Right now I'm weighing options and prices, I've noticed a few different places have different prices for sizes of boots that's why I asked. Most likely going the full tilt route as I rode with a pair last year and loved them.
guitar73 Posted November 25, 2014 Report Posted November 25, 2014 Spend as much as you can afford on boots....skimp on other pieces of gear if you have to. 2
toast21602 Posted November 25, 2014 Report Posted November 25, 2014 Ski boots are way different than snowboarding. Please go to a shop. 4
AtomicSkier Posted November 26, 2014 Report Posted November 26, 2014 Spend as much as you can afford on boots....skimp on other pieces of gear if you have to. No question. Boots are the single best investment you can make. 1
phillycore Posted November 26, 2014 Report Posted November 26, 2014 No question. Boots are the single best investment you can make. Second best IMO a helmet would always be first
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted November 26, 2014 Report Posted November 26, 2014 Second best IMO a helmet would always be first Especially for you!!!! I've had the same helmet for 9 years. 1

Justo8484 Posted November 27, 2014 Report Posted November 27, 2014 Second best IMO a helmet would always be firstwhile I agree that a helmet is a very important pice of gear, it doesn't really affect your skiing ability. There's not like a beginner helmet or an advanced helmet or anything like that. A ski boot is a much more personal piece of equipment, and it pays to get a pair that fits properly. You can pick up last years helmet for 50% off and sticker it up or spray paint it if you don't like the color. 1
