When we boot testers are in the shop, selling boots, we might fib a little bit and tell a customer, you know, it's pretty hard to find a bad boot these days, but we know the truth. It's also true that finding the right boot starts with a fit that matches the foot, the instep and the lower leg (and hopefully the other parts in between), and sure, it's nice if it goes on easy, the buckles work and it's warm. But if the boot doesn't let you ski at least as well as you did in your last pair of boots, or better yet, make you a better skier (which many do)—then really, is it the right boot for you?
