vtgirl Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 I'm looking into getting some AT boots...Does anyone have any recommendations? Are there any especially for women? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fern Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 I recommend the ones that fit your feet. There are various brands/models marketed to women, but those models may not end up being the ones that fit you best. You have to go to the shops and try stuff on. Several makers now include thermal custom fit liners, which is a nice feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.radon Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Think about what you want. If you're looking for a boot to ski and climb lighter and a less stiff boot ay be the consideration. If you are just going to be yo-yo skiing then you might go for a heavier stiffer boot. Go to a good store with a broad selection. Ask a qualified sales person for their advice given your planed useage. I got a boot at REI but hated it so I was able to return it. I ended up getting a great boot off some web site. I ski and climb in Denali's. A little heavy and stiff but worth the support when skiing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj001f Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 There are only 2 questions you need to know the answer to: 1) Do I ever want to use Dyanfit bindings? (if you don't know what they are, probably not yet) 2a)If you do, find the best fitting boots from Scarpa/Garmont/Dynafit 2b)If you don't, find the best fitting boots from Scarpa/Garmont/Dynafit/Lowa  With the exception of the Dyanfit MLT all of the boots out there are burly enough for skiing anything on rando sticks, or most alpine gear. If your interested in skiing at high speeds, with big skis - you'll know which boots you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtgirl Posted February 19, 2004 Author Share Posted February 19, 2004 Right now I have Volkl Vertigos with Fritchi Diamir bindings. I probably won't be getting new bindings anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodchester Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Are there any especially for women?  Chick Boot  Good boot for all around, stiff enough to ski most anything yet still soft enough to tour without tearing up your feet. Fairly light, combined with the Dynafit bindings on light skis, about as light as you'll get while still maintaining ski-ability of the boot.  2 cents...don't trust me though, I'm not a chick.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrashador Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Lowa Struktura Lights seem pretty nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 If they fit, the Dynafit 700 TLT Womens is another good choice. Also leaves the option open for Dynafit bindings in the future.

AlpineK Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 I recommend spending extra money on heat to fit liners. You wont regret it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got mine at the Intuition "factory" in Vancouver for CAN$120 (approx USD$72). Don't know if they do individual mail orders or not. Call 'em at 604-879-9231.
