WTB: ski boots

Looking for a pair of ski boots for my son. A men's size 7 or 8. I was thinking maybe somebody's kid has outgrown a pair...:singing:

Cheezy,

Evo.com is having a huge clearance in their outlet store.

I have gotten many great deals from them.

Check it out.....

That should be about mondo 26.

Falcons deployed....

Should have a "yes" or "no" for you in the next day or so.

Is your preference to skew a tad larger and wear heavy socks or smaller and cut off toes, if needed?

Would be the same source as the skis and boots I sent you last time.

ATB,
Sam

Thanks everybody. Sam you are too much... I think the extra sock route maybe the best :dunno::spin:

If you want used for still growing feet.

How ya feeling, Cheezy? Hope your gettin' lots better....

So...
Fortunately used ski boots are one of the easier items to locate of all the gear you see people looking for on PKF. Looking in other venues will yield lots of possibilities..though it's a smaller men's size than average and it may have just a bit less availability in sheer numbers....the plus side is there's often less demand and better prices especially if you try to bid for some on eBay...

...also try Craiglist. Sometimes folk in 'free' section are giving older ski boot away!...But don't get more than several years back.

Course, the previous suggestion for the late models(last years claerance) on new boots...is great, if you don't want used.

good luck!:roll:

Hey free boots or hand me downs are awesome....I don't know what kind of ski stores you have around you but our local ski shop we can lease the "kids" ski boots for a couple years and then return when they don't fit. Stores will run some type of buy back option too. Look into it. I think it costed us around 35.00 a year for 2 years for the kids to be in a brand new 150.00-175.00 ski boot. (doesn't sound like much but for an 8 & 10 yr old they were great)

We get all that stuff at Play it Again sports. Good prices and decent stuff. I also spend a lot of time scouring through Goodwill and Salvation Army boxes I mean stores.:frog::lol:
