    Recommentdation for NY/NJ bootfitter

    2 questions actually... 1. Do people really recommend a boot fitting for a teenager who's feet may still be growing?? He skis about 25 days a season .... really big expense for what could be one season. 2. I had a great experience at Heino's in Northern NJ, really terrific .... but they...

    The Numbers Game: Boots, Part 3

    I touched on this in Part 2, but why do boots get more expensive as they get stiffer? Well, often the quality of the materials is higher, but it's not that stiffer plastic is more expensive or more rare, just that it is worth more in a 130-flex boot than in a 110. A stiffer boot is more...

    When change from junior to adult boots?

    My boys 11 and 13yrs need new boots. When is it resonable to change from junior to adult boots? The 13 year old has 250mm long slightly wide feet (weights around 50kg, advanced skier). No racing but some short hiking/skinning is planned so a boot with hike mode is appreciated. He used a salomon...
