 Poster: A snowHead
|
Kiddo (6) has pretty much killed the soles of her boots. They're not even very old so I blame spinning on her toes/heels in gravelly car parks. The next time she skis is probably her only race of the year. I don't think she'll be going fast enough to seriously injure herself if she falls, and it will be a very easy/slow course, not very rutted. I think it would be helpful for her to use equipment she's used to and is comfortable in. So, do I let her have just one more day in them or is it too risky? There's not much left of the toe.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

The toe/heel can be unscrewed and replaced

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Cool, I figured they were too far gone as the upper part is eaten away at the toe too. Does anyone know if there's somewhere in Inverness that can service equipment? I don't want to attempt this one myself!

@Canuck, the toes look pretty ground away. Ummm, its a few screws, if you can get the bits.

Thanks  I think they're too far gone and I can't find a toe smaller than size 22 online anyways. She's only worn them about 15 times which is really annoying. I think I'll send her out in them one last time and hold my breath!

@Canuck, Anything Technical stock replacement toes and heels. They could probably advise whether the parts of the main boot shell just above where those fit are too far gone or not.
If new parts can be fitted, it’s an easy job. Screwdriver set and maybe a pair of pliers should do it.

Yes, only goes down to size 22 in her model unfortunately. I might try to ring them in case they'll fit anyways, but I can imagine that last little bit at the top breaking away in a matter of days.

Just chatted to a really helpful man at Anything Technical, unfortunately it looks like we'll be needing new boots. But I'll let her have one last go with them. Thanks for everyone's help!
