My last pair of boots lasted 12 years, I must be very lucky with my feet as I have never had one problem in that time, my new pair I have now skied for 7 days no problems yet.
I have skied with friends who play around with there boots all day complaining
of sore feet and ankles. I tend to set my boots in the morning and never change the setting even at lunch !! and one other thing I tend to blame myself and not my equipment for any short comings that may occur during the day.

If you are going for less than a week it very difficult to find accommodation the hotels want 7 days. I am off for a long weekend in Passo Tonale which is 129k's
from milan which takes about 2hours, and I also found a hotel called Hotel Negritella which is three star, check it out on the net.

I think the lesson to be learnt here is to buy your ski equipment abroad where you can try before you buy, I have always found the customer service Ist class.
I brought a new pair of boots in Le Grand bornand last month and got a great price and the care and attention to detail lasted all week.
