New Ski Boots but not much snow

We have had our current boots for many many years. Could be 10 perhaps and they have quite a lot of mileage on them. We have been worrying for some time what to do when they wear out as we both always have a nightmare getting boots that fit. Skiing is a whole lot less fun with agony feet.
After a lot of research we settled on Dalbello boots who make boots for serious skiers and wide feet.

First trying on... I have never put my feet in to a ski boot and not been in agony, so was quite pleasant surprise.

We took them skiing for a more thorough test before heat moulding the boots and liners. The snow is very very thin as there has been no new snow since mid December. The boots were pretty good for out of the box though.

We have had many pleasant walks in the sunshine instead of skiing. Pretty cold at times.
