What’s the difference between junior and adult ski boots?

jennuinelove asked:

A friend is willing to sell me her ski boots, Dalbello CX 3. But a little bit of research revealed that these are junior boots. Well, I’m far from junior, in fact I’m a mother to 3 juniors. Do you think I could use these boots anyway? BTW, I’m quite a novice (I’ve been twice), but my kids have recently discovered skiing and snowboarding, so we’ll be going more often and fairly soon.

    The main difference besides the size, is the junior boot is softer and designed for a lighter weight person. Have you tried them on? You need to have a very tight fit around the foot and ankle. If you have the time try to go a boot shop and try on several different pairs and ask the boot fitter what size and model and brand they suggest. Spend a couple of hours in the boots to get used to them. Do the same with your friends boots.
