i have got a pretty wide foot and find most ski boots are too narrow at about the ankle and usually puts alot of pressure there, i need a boot that is wider then average at the ankle area thanks

Best bet is to stop by a quality ski shop and try on boots.

Dave has the best answer of the group here.
Of course you are trying them on...we know that (some people still feel the need to mention it, huh?).
What a ski shop will do is custom mold your foot for the boot-liner and shell. You're feet will be snug as a bug. There will probably be some extra cost for that service...not sure how much, but a well fitted boot is the most important investment you will make!

Most definitely go to a local Specialty ski shop and get properly
fitted for new ski boots. Many ski shops have certified boot fitters who will fit you based on your experience, foot type & your skiing preferences. Don't necessarily buy something that's on Sale,.as the Worst part of ski trip can quickly be poorly or improperly fitted ski boots! There are many very reliable brands like Lange, Nordica, Rossignol etc., however, a comfortable fitting boot can make learning and also having fun skiing much more enjoyable!

just hang hit it on the head there with out a noce fitting boot the rest just doesn't matter much. I had a pair of race boots once that just hurt my feet they didn't have the right feel to them. and I hated wearing them to race in (everyone on the team had to wear the same stuff)
you may also want to see if you can demo your boots just like you can demo skis. there are a few shops in utah that do this.
good luck man

Make sure you try them on first before you buy them and you usally want them to have a lot of space because you can also tighten them up.
