I'm not such a great skier that I need the latest shape every year and TBH I always feel a bit creeped out about the boots - I'm funny about feet so every time I put my foot in a hired boot I wonder who's feet went there before me and every time I feel an itch for the next 2 weeks I freak about about contagious fungus. I'm one of those weirdos who always wears flip-flops in hotel showers so that my feet don't touch where other people's feet have.
Even if I didn't want skis I can't go another year in other people's boots.....

oh wise ones...... the guy I spoke to this morning was telling me that there is no differance betwen a kid's ski for a big kid and a women's ski for a small woman. Did he speak the truth or was he just saying what he needed to to make a sale?
