I recently got back from skiing and as my old boots were too old to ski in, I rented a pair of Lange boots with a single BOA fastener. Found them both comfortable and accurate but still fancy trying some others.

I’m thinking Dalbello, Lange, Scarpa (prefer a boot from Italy).

Fit is obviously the most important factor so I’m looking for a shop with a good selection of boot options and a decent boot fitter to ensure I buy correctly. Any recommendations welcome - preferably midlands/south east of England.

They are not that far from me but a quick online search reveals they have some very poor reviews. Will give them a call and gauge them.

Other recommendations welcome!

My sone used these guys and he did 2 ski seasons in Canada as a ski instructor. And was recommended them and had no complaints. Not sure they are cheap though as he’s never told me how much he spent!!

There is a thought that you should get your boots in the ski resort if you have a shop and fitter you trust. That way you can go back after a day or 2 skiing for any tweaks once you have used them, which you can’t do in a uk shop obviously. Both myself and my wife have done in Morzine and been back over the years for adjustments as our feet have changed shape.

There's a recommendation on this thread https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

There were several others on the equivalent thread for last season.
