How do I get my ski boots to fit better? I bought new ski boots last year and was clearly not given the advice I should have. I have size 10 1/2 to 11 feet and I was sold size 29.5 boots. They fit very well around my calves, however I seem to have to much space to move my feet around inside the boot. Would buying an insert help? I am a fairly aggressive skier, have Rossi Salto entry level boots (intend to buy new ones in a year or two, but need a fix to get me through until then). The buckles around the foot are very easy to lock (hardly any pressure needed) and I basically need to get a tighter fit around that area. I am finding it hard to transfer control to my ski's when I get more aggressive.

What is a good brand of show gaitors/ half chaps that look like tall boots? Hello. I'm getting ready to go to my first show at the end of this month after 6 years of riding. I have a pair of ill-fitting Devon Aire field boots, but they're also extremley uncomfortable. I really prefer half chaps. I'm also in need of some new paddock boots, so I was wondering if anyone would advise against using the half chaps that are designed to look like a propper field boot when paired with the right paddock boot. I am on a limited budget, hence the reason I've been riding for 6 years and this is just my first show. I've heard good things about Ariat, and experienced their quality in other riding apparel, so I'm leaning toward their Crowne Pro Chap. Are their any other brands available in the USA that are similar, but maybe a little less expensive? I'm torn between investing in a nice pair that will last and just getting through this fall's small shows until I have a little more money. Do these look like tall boots? http://www.customchap.com/show-gaiters.htm I'd like to avoid tall boots just because I feel much more comfortable in chaps.
