Dalbello Gaia 4 Girls Ski Boots

I bought these for my little girl so that I wouldn't have to spend money and time in long lines renting boots for her every time we went skiing. She found them much more comfortable than any rental, and she says that they keep her feet warm (when it was 15 degrees F). She thinks they are pretty which is a boon for a little girl. I also noticed that her learning curve for getting her feet inside them, buckling them, and adjusting them by herself was very fast. As many of you parents know, having to wrestle with your child's ski boots is not fun for anyone and cuts into time better spent getting to the lift. Comfort and warmth are so critical for a child learning to ski because if she isn't happy, then she won't like this wonderful, amazing sport so much and won't be able to fully concentrate on learning. I learned this as her older sister learned to ski. So, even though my little girl went to her first-ever ski lesson in these boots, she had a blast, loves skiing as a result, and was even skiing a couple of blues at the end of the day. She always asks when we are going again. This weekend, little one, this weekend . . . :DHide
