 Poster: A snowHead
|
Yes, I know these are a seriously old pair of boots !!!!
I ski a couple of times a year; the whole mountain at speed and I'm looking to finally polich off my Off Piste technique, however, my olf boots are finally fubar and I need a new pair.
Salamon appear to fit me well as I've wide and funny shaped feet.
I'd grade myself as a 8 on the slush+rubble scale and so I'm thinking about at least trying the Salomon Course Spaceframe Expert.
Any comments or seggestions ?

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

scooby_simon, Get along to a good shop..CEM and SZK may know of one ! Cast aside any notion of brand and type of boot - and have the shop staff advise you...

scooby_simon, were they purple ?
Mine sadly hit the bin as well this year. I found a pair of X-wave 10s fit pretty nicely though. A fair bit softer than the Integral Equipes.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Nope, no-can-do.
Brian,
Nope they were the orange ones with yellow clips - very subtle !
Very stiff, but surprisingly compfy !
Ski, agree about just letting the book tech guide me, but still feel that Snowheads can help...

scooby_simon, they would be around 1990ish , had a pair myself
as for which boots to look at, it is impossible to even start suggesting boot to you, i could wwrite a long list but you would eb as well to pick up and S&R catalog so you can se the piccys.
there are a few key points that you should think about when you do buy boots
1, at the level you are looking for they will be tight (or at least they should be)
2, footbeds are critical if you want a truely 3dimensional fit, but an off the peg footbed will be a lot better than a badly made custom one
3, custom liners foam, or zip fit could be a help if you have really awkward feet.
4, if oyu have lumps and bumps on your feet , you need a shell that fits the main body of your foot and have it expanded in specific areas, if the boot fits where it touches the foot will be swimming within a week or so,
hope that helps a bit, if you need more either ask on here or drop me a PM
