ski boots

Anyone have any info?

Trying to decide on new boots! I've had the same basic boots for several years and am very excited for this big upgrade. I'm an advanced/expert skier and prefer to ski in un-groomed off-piste snow (e.g. back bowls at Vail), but rarely go full backcountry or touring. I live on the east coast so I...

Former Burton Exec Set to Shake Up the Alpine Ski Boot Business Clark Gundlach is heading up the launch of the Dahu Swiss Ski Boot, the most revolutionary alpine ski boot to hit the market in decades. Eagle, Colo., December 18, 2018 - Designed in Switzerland, the Dahu boot is a...

So I just purchased my first pair of plug boots from Dalbello and after trying them on they feel completely different than my race boots (98mm last) from the previous season. I don't really know how to describe the difference, but it feels like my foot has less feeling in the plug boot and not...

There have been a few discussion/questions asked by people where to get boots fitted in Wisconsin. Yesterday I spent 3 hrs at Sheperd and Schaller Sporting goods in Wausau. It's there big dungeon sale but they also have whole store discounts right now too. I have 2 friends looking for boots...

The dust is settling in the sole wars, and it looks like GripWalk is becoming the standard for the comfort version of a DIN (ISO 5355) sole. The WTR originators, Amer Group, will still offer some WTR variations over the next season, but I believe that it will abandon that ship once the stock...

So last year I needed new boots. My old Dalbello Axons from 2012 were actually too big(insert dig about boots being too big here). I wanted to spend $600-$700 on a 90-100 flex range boot. I've been skiing on and off for the past 30 years(. I've only been skiing once per year the past few years...

A design that never made it to market... From YankoDesigns Why do ski boots have to hurt? Shouldn’t skiers enjoy the same comfort as snowboarders do? The right design can make it easier to release pressure from the buckles when needed without having to undo the bottom of your pants. The POC...

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...

Had never heard of them before but saw Fuxy using them at the FIS masters this weekend. Anyone any experience of them?? ZAY PRODUCTS PHOTO

In trying to help @Mendieta pick out skis for his son and thinking "If only Volkl offered the Yumi in a men's model..." What ski, boot, binding you feel are missing from a line? I am not askiing abotu fabricating something that does not exist but where a manufacturer has a hole and it could be...

Oh boy, these are some of the most “missed” numbers: mis-understood, mis-represented, and mis-referenced. We see flex ranges from 50 to 150 for adult boots. Why and how are these numbers set? You might as well try to figure out airline pricing models or the calculation of your credit score. I...

Let's think about the purpose of the ski boot. Besides keeping the foot warm and dry, what is it designed to do? To transmit your energy to the ski. So what is the best way to accomplish this? With a snug, uniform fit that allows the foot and boot to work as one, ideally with little or no...

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...

Suppose you had a pair of boots that used to fit you - but now doesn't. Would you risk a punch just to be able to ski it?

I've been waiting for the Head Hammer 110 to arrive, and it finally did, in my size. It's a pretty significant departure in boots for Head. It's more or less a cabrio design, but very unlike Dalbello or Full Tilt. It has a 98mm last and depending on the oven temperature the shell and liner are...
