Hi
@unassumingpanda & welcome to Pugski!
You’ve found an excellent resource for all things skiing
It’s impressive you want to buy boots after only 2 times on the slopes, even more so that you found pugski and put this question out there! I skied for over a decade in rental boots because I didn’t know any better, it’s just what everyone did.
I concur with
@dbostedo &
@Pat AKA mustski. Additionally, one thing to consider is that whatever boot you get now will very likely be your “starter boot.” You will either grow out it or just outski it in a few years, depending on how often you get to ski, your progression, etc, So that might be a factor in how much you want to spend on a boot now vs investing more on your 2nd pair of boots in few years that will last you much longer after your feet stop growing. Plus you’ll know more about skiing and what you like/dislike about your boots then.
At 14, do you think you'll be growing out of the boots? If so, you might want to learn as much as you can about how a bit should fit and how fitting works, then find something used or cheap (which is not at all anything I'd normally recommend... but if you're foot is still growing it might make sense).
This is actually very good advice. My son outgrew his boots rapidly during his teenage years. He was a junior in high school when his feet finally stabilized and stopped growing. Prior to that, we took him to ski shows/swaps and purchased boots that were a recreational fit to allow for him to get a couple of seasons out of them. I am not a boot fitter, just a mom, so I just did a basic shell fit.
I’m sure you will ski better and be more comfortable skiing if you do go to a good bootfitter, however, at your level you’re not looking for the same super precise fit that some people on here with decades of experience want. The major caveat is never ski in boots that are very painful, you could be doing damage.
Some people at a shop might try to sell you on expensive custom footbeds (orthotics), but again right now (as long as you don’t need custom orthotics for your regular shoes) a pair of superfeet insoles (or similar) that fits your arch well would be an excellent addition to whatever boot you get.

Finally, and perhaps paradoxical to the concern of outgrowing a ski boot, the #1 mistake most first time boot buyers make is getting them too big. The first time you put on a correctly fitting ski boot it will be the tightest thing you have ever had on your foot, that’s what you want! However, know they will loosen up and “pack out” over time, they won’t be that tight forever. Good luck finding boots! Keep reading (the search function is very handy!) & asking questions.
