 Poster: A snowHead

Salomon Irony range of boots - can anyone explain the difference between all the different numbers I've come across? (4,5,6,7 and 8!).
I've been skiing twice this year (Andorra and Les Menuires) and in both places, the hire shop has fitted me with Irony 6 boots. They were really comfortable and so I have decided to buy some. But on returning home and Googling around, I've discovered this confusing array of numbers. I have been unable to find information on what the differences are.
Does anyone know?

Anne Thorpe,
Liners, quality of fittings and types of plastic. Put simply, buy the higher ranged boot. Better liner, longer life. Better quality fittings, longer life, better function. Harder plastics, better durability, better response, longer life. don't get too worried about the flex ratings, different temperatures have a s significant effect on this and therefore are neglegable(spelling) unless we are in the 100-160 flex Polyether group, ie world cup ski boots and high end freeride boots. The boot mentioned is fine to take as Irony 8 if you are a reasonable intermediate skier with an enjoyment of speed or are slightly heavy for your height.

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

Thanks. From this I understand that within the Irony range, the higher numbers are better specifications? I thought maybe it was a new number each year, with the higher number replacing the one before. If I have understood you correctly, they all exist at once but differ in quality. Is that right?

Anne Thorpe, That's the reality IMO.
