boots

Has anyone had success making a Tecnica Mach1 120 LV stiffer? The boot is very comfortable and seems like it would be warm. However, it flexes a lot more than the other 2 boots I am considering which concerns me (have only had them on at room temp). If I added a carbon fiber T-Drive spine...

So I just got new boots yesterday, went to a well reviewed fitter in Truckee, but not sure if I might have bought the wrong boots. I've been skiing a Lange RX130LV, it fit well in the heel/instep but needed a ton of work in the toebox to get it reasonably comfortable. Even so, I was dealing with...

So this post is about my wife's ski/boot/foot situation. I mistakenly let a really inexperienced (read: young and inexperienced) bootfitter up in Tremblant fit her for boots and footbeds a few years ago and it's really been nothing but pain for her since. The boots were Atomic Hawx (Primes I...

So a couple questions regarding Roxa .. Are they made by Roxa themselves or is it like how K2 is made by Dalbello? Are they any good like durability and ease of working on ? my investigation has turned up limited info

Live in San Diego/Los Angeles area. Will be going up to Mammoth frequently. Can stop anywhere on the way or between. Need a pair of boots for life after my last good pair buckled when my skis did and the super nice ones I got in Austria turned out to be a shit fit. Thanks in advance.

I've always had trouble getting into and out of my boots. Do you have this problem? Any solutions or ideas?

Hey, Recently I have aquired some new powder skis and I wanted to get some tech bindings for them. But I only want to get 1 pair of boots because I can't afford more that that. I am looking for a good pair of ski boots that can be used with multiple bindings including WTR and Grip Walk. I...

Hello, I'm excited to have purchased my first set of skis but I am having difficulty adjusting the bindings with my boots. I realize I should take them to a tech but I wont be able to do it until the end of the month and I only have 2 weeks to make any exchanges on the skis/bindings. I need...

Hey! I'm looking for suggestions on a pair of freestyle ski boots. I went to a boot fitter and he put me in a pair of Salomon Xmax 100's and did alot of custom work, but they kill my legs and shins on jumps. thanks for the recommendations!!

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...

In taking a realistic look at my physique, I'm coming to terms with my shorter legs and larger calves. I'm now wondering if I would benefit from a short cuff model boot. I know these are generally marketed towards younger skiers and females, so I'm curious if anyone out there (male or female)...

I have never really cared much about boots! I can almost hear the boos, wait that's not how the world works but, my point remains, I have been using a pair of mid-late 2000s Head S11 (I think) boots since I received them as a part of a sponsorship. These boots have become a severe pain in the...

Atomic HAWX ULTRA 130 Last: variable Size tested: 28.5 (320mm BSL) Design: Carryover Background/Stats: 6'2", 250lbs w/gear, measure 13.5/14 shoe size, 11/10ths skier, ski the entire spectrum of terrain and conditions (with the exception of moguls; I will go out of my way to not ski moguls). I...

I thought my Scarpa Geas were 24.5, but I just noticed that the ripped-up sticker on the toe looks like a 25.0. I can't find the shell size (as opposed to the BSL) printed on the outside - these are barely-used, so none of the print is ground down at all, let alone worn off. Is there a standard...

Was fully not thinking this boot, as I thought 130 would be was stiff. It's not!!! Has an absurd amount of graded flex & comfort. I get to test a lot of gear & was shocked by how anatomical this boot is. Factory video is worth a watch:

I have a pair of Dobermann's that unless I warm them up with a hair dryer I can't get them on or off. They have the lace up liners. I have tried putting the liner on outside of the boot, inside, with laces, without. The only way to get them on is to warm them up otherwise the stiff plastic...

I know many of you followed us over here so you read up on some of the best upcoming gear and get insights into what is going on in the industry. Well, all summer while you were out mountain biking and hiking, we were slaving on a keyboard writing. Stay tuned over the next few weeks for articles...

My life changed in 1972 when I got a pair of Henke Strato boots with foam injected liners. The boot tech canted my boots, a lot. My skiing improved instantly. What do others think about canting? Inside the boot or outside? What about custom insoles? Special liners like Intuition? Fore and aft...
