A: Boots are probably as important or more important than the ski itself!
You need to go to a pro shop and get fitted. Boots are so variable that it's not possible to just answer how to get fitted here. Skiing ability, age, gender, how often
I bought some Head Dream Thang boots a couple of years ago and have now used them on 3 ski holidays. Although comfortable to ski in, the boots are incredibly difficult to put on; there seems to be virtually no 'slip' down the back of the boot's lining,
Ski boots go by mondo sizing, so you should be wearing something like a 25 or 26, not 8-10. When you first put the boot on, your toes should just brush the front of the boot liner when standing up straight. When you get into athletic stance, with your shins against the front of the boots, knees slightly bent, back straight, your heels should pull back, leaving space in the front, but keeping your heels down tight. If your heel is moving up or sliding around, the boots are too big.
You will still need to try on the boots.. every boot manufacturer’s boots fit differently.. Atomic boots are wider than a Salomon and a Salomon boot fits about 1/2 size larger than a rossignol boot which is about the narrowest and shortest boot there is, that you find up for rental anyway.. Start with a 26.5 womens boot, which is equivlant to a 9.5
Try a pair of boots that are close to your correct size. Ski boots are in a european size which is different than US. A US 11 is a size 10 that is a 28, (2+8=10) women’s boots go down one more size. Put the boot on your foot, kick your heel hard several times on the floor and then buckle the toes and tighten the strap around the top, Then the ankle buckles, when you stand, your knees should be forced forward and at that point, your heel should be back in the heel cup and you can stretch your toes forward to just touch the end of the boot. Your foot must not move in the boot when it is buckled. If your boots do not fit properly you will have difficulty skiing. As soon as possible you should purchase your own boots that are fit to your foot. Boots are the most critical part of the package of your ski gear.
