No! The insoles are rubbish and the boots are pretty wide high volume boots aimed at free riders, you need a recreational ski boot that fits the length, width and volume of your foot that also has an appropriate flex.

Rather than going to one of the large chain shops I would strongly recommend that you get your boots from one of the specialist independent retailers, preferably from someone on this list http://www.skibootpro.co.uk/Findabootfitter.html it's best to ring and make an appointment as the process can take a couple of hours. They will assess and measure your feet and then recommend a couple of boots that should work for you, they will also recommend a suitable footbed.

These videos give an overview of the process:

Whatever you decide to do, do not buy mail order. All the sizing info provided by the manufacturers is so approximate that it's practically worthless i.e. there are no half sizes even though they list them, a shell check is a must.

Bear in mind that if you progress quickly you will probably need a closer fitting, stiffer boot after a short while in order to allow you to progress further.
