Question: if i wear a 9 in women shoe's, will i still wear a 9 in ski boot's? I'm looking to purchase ski gear from craigslist & not able to find someone with a complete set. So if i have to buy each item separately i would like to know the right boot size.
Answer: You are best not buying used equipment in a complete set. It is ok to buy used skis, if they are right for your level and the right size, but purchasing boots is a much longer process. If you buy boots that are too small or too big, even if it is only a half size, or boots that are the right size but don't fit right, your feet will be in pain and you will risk injury. I am in the process of searching for boots, and I cant find any that fit me right. It is best to go to a few different bootfitters and try on boots. I say a few, because most shops only carry certain brands. Some brands run narrow, some run wide, and some are in the middle. My foot measures a 7.5, all the sneakers I own are 8s. My nordica ski boots are a 24.5 and they are way too big. In ski boots I am probably a 23.5 to 24, but different brands run differently. Boots are the most important piece of equipment to fit right. Never wear more than one pair of socks. It causes friction and your feet will get cold and you can get blisters. If you can fit your foot in the boot with two pairs of socks, then the boots are too big.
