And interestingly enough, she is a Lange skier...but what are these unbranded boots on her feet??? I saw them up close in the line and also skiing....no markings of any kind.

@Philpug does Jim S. do her boot work?

The yellow boots are Fischer, it might eventually say "Vacuum" but this is a pure plug boot. I recall seeing some of her boots a few years ago that were not only not DIN in height but the lugs were extra wide so they coudl get milled for a personalized stance. I have no idea if Jim is still doing her boots but I assume so. I do know that Sorin is the one local who doing her ski set up regarding tuning.

That's what I thought as well but she was on Lange this WC season and her athlete page says she is on Lange...

@Philpug ....are we sure those yellow boots aren't a proto Lange???? This is from recent training session....

Got to ski 3 days with Eric Lipton in March, he was skiing the Rebel iSpeed (1st day, no new snow for a while) and the Monster 88 (2-3rd days, a little snow on top of hardpack).
