You know what I mean. Something relatively skinny under the boot that gets a decent clip wider at the tips, so geared more for groomers but could still handle some choppy stuff. 90% of the ski's you'd find at Sport Check or the like.
I personally think it's a huge mistake just going out and buying new gear when the guy has no clue what fits his style or what his style even is or what he wants or even likes.

Thats fair enough, I haven't been in a rental shop in over 15 years. I thought they offered average boots.
Either way I think he should try to burrow someone elses boots if he can first. See if his feet get sore any where. That type of knowledge would be helpful.
But yeah, like everyone else has said boots are finicky and crucial. Bad boots can (will) ruin your day.
