Mail for help.Help!!

Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Best bet would be contacting a shop as they'll probably have to order them in for you unless you are really lucky.

riverwhy, try CEM. He might have some (or be able to fashion some for you) for a small fee.

When I needed a replacement screw for my X-Waves, I called Salomon and they sent me a few in the mail free of charge.

Sorry no. I had a quick look but couldn't find them either. I may have got them from the little 'user guide' that came with the boots.

If you don't get any address/phone details from one of the professionals before i get home, I'll dig it out and have a look.

Salomon GB have moved from their Basingstoke offices and are now based in Frimley along with Atomic GB. There phone number has changed.

Pop into your local ski shop and they may have some or order them for you. Do it sooner rather than later as spares are taking about a month to come through (used to be 10 days)

i've failed completely to locate these - tried ski shops all over the country - had no idea it would be so difficult - best offer was about 3 weeks from Salomon. not much of a back up service is it? Sad

riverwhy, When you get into resort go to a boot shop, they can fashion you some custom made Smile

When we were in St.Anton last season tried to get replacements - left them in the shop for an hour, they custom fitted some for us as they didnt stop heels for that age of boot Shocked Boots are around 5 years old Confused

I would imagine all they did was fit a heel piece then trim/grind it to fit looking at the scuff marks around the base of the boot. Cost €20 for two pairs Smile

didn't manage to find any in soldeu - it seems the latest salomon boots have the whole heel piece in one, whereas mine you can just replace the small piece at the back. Can anyone help with that? the boots are x-wave 8 about 3-4 years old, size 27/27.5 sole length 315

I love my X-waves so I think I'll invest in buying the spares now rather than when i really need them (I've been lucky and had ski to hotel places most years, so very little wear and tear on the soles.) Thanks to snowHead and you guys on the site i know where to look. Toofy Grin Toofy Grin
