    Bring him with you. Ski boots are something you can't buy without the feet that are going to be using them imo.

    Yep, get him a gift voucher or bring him with you. The wrong boots are absolute hell to wear , can be hard to control to control your skii's with and can ruin a holiday.

    It happened my twice :/

    Normally one size bigger than shoe size - but whoever is selling you the boots should be able to help with that. It's a bad idea buying them without the feet though.
