Definitely. If your feet hurt because the boots are rubbish, then

What should I take in consideration when taking boots (and bindings)
and what should determine my choice...?

Fit, fit and then fit.

First off, take a look at the FAQ, which can be found at this location
http://www.vpas.fsnet.co.uk/rssFAQ/

It'll answer some questions for you. You can always come back with
more.

I try to fit boots at the end of the day, when the feet are bigger.
They most likely won't be comfortable, but as long as your toes are not
jammed in right at the end, and the boot fits well everywhere else. You
don't want any heel lift, and you don't want it pinching on the instep
or top of the foot.

Also - what type of $s are you referring to?

US $. Anyway, I'm from Croatia...

Lucky you. Which part? I've spent many a great time on Hvar and Brac
(sorry, my keyboard doesn't have the caron).

Do you snowboard in Slovenia, or go across to the main Alps?
