What boot to buy...Nordica or Technica???

I am in the market for a new ski boot and I have narrowed my choices to the Technica Vento 8 and the Nordica Gransport 10. I was wondering if any of you guys know these two boots or would recommend a similar boot. I am looking for a good all mountain boot (not racing) and I am an intermediate skier. I want comfort as well...

Do these boots come a little smaller than regular shoes or? I wear a 10/10.5 shoe but I was fitted with a 27.5 boot.....


One more thing, what are most of you guys wearing for ski socks?? Is there a must have "ski sock" out there?? Thanks!!

tech talk JONG!!!

trust your boot fitter.

27 boot in a 10 foot. OK, might be a bit big still

thin sock is best (ultimax, ultralight)

others: salomon X wave? see point #1

Hey, for me I only use red smartwool sox, but I would say you want something not to thick and with minimal seams in the sox. As for boot size the ski boot is usally one street size less. For instance my steet shoe is 9.5 and my technicas ski boots are 8.5, hope this helps.

i have the vento 10 this season and really like them. very comfy, good flex. the vento/diablo lines are the purdyest boots on the market right now.
