I’m finally ready to get some AT boots. At the end of last season I was pretty sure I wanted to work with a place near Sugarbush that has a great selection and seemingly bootfitter as well. However, since I always have issues with fit and I ski in Maine, I’m a little bit worried about getting my boots so far away.. Though the plan I felt comfortable with in Vermont was to NOT size down like I normally do for downhill and that heat molding everything should relax the fit even more for my problem 5th metatarsal areas, so perhaps I won’t be as in need of extra work down the road. I’m just not sure to what extent this may affect my instep fit (the reason I normally size down to a 23.5 is because my length and forefoot width put me in a 24.5 camp (with necessary work on widening still in front) while my instep measures a 22 and I have a super skinny heel and ankle..). Seems like the best plan not to make my feet miserably tight in boots meant for climbing though.
What do you all think? Would you go back to Alpine Options in Vermont, or try and find somewhere closer to Sunday River or near home in MA in case I need tweaks later?
