looks like about 56deg for front and 55deg back

The boots are here! Ready to go big this season. I went ahead and adjusted the back foot angle to match the front as suggested. Just waiting for the resorts to open here. Thanks everyone!

Thanks everyone for the help. After looking at various ski boots, I was lucky enough to found some used Raichle 123's in my size on the 'for sale' section of this forum. They didn't set me back to much $ and I'm hoping they will work out. I think I should receive them next week so I'm pretty pumped.

I'd definitely be interested in the Raichle 123's if they are still available.

Just curious, how does this work? I followed the link but everything appears closed until 2012.

I went to a local ski/snowboard shop today and tried on a couple ski boots. Wow they are stiff! Looks like I'm a size 27 with a narrow foot. Thanks for the advice I'll try getting a hold of BlueB for some ski boot info. Thanks to everyone and happy carving.

Thanks everyone for the good advice. i'm glad to hear that most snowboard hardboots will work. I was worried I'd be limited to a few obscure brands or something. I'll measure my mondo size as soon as I am home and continue the search. I'll keep the liners in mind too. I'm still on the ropes about buying new boots as I really don't have the cash. With that said, I have another question I have to ask (possibly a stupid question)....If I'm unable to find any cheap snowboard hardboots are ski boots an option? I've read that they were and they're definitely easier to find. If so, whats the deal with bindings? If you can't tell I'm clueless as to the board to boot connections. Can't wait to start laying trenches. Thanks again.

So I'm totally new to hardboot carving. I'm committed take the plunge but on a limited budget. I just picked up a board with bindings. I'm hoping to find some used boots just to get up and riding. I've done some research on this site and others but I'm still not sure what boots will work with my bindings. Below are a couple pics of the setup so far. Any help would be appreciated. Are there any old used hardboots availble out there? Thanks
