They are boots right?
Why are you retiring them?

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

right, boots, layne - a bit battered and worn now - a couple of the stiffness sliders have broken and liner slightly ripped at top. i also did have some pins and needles last year - but putting that down to age more than anything!
figured technology might have moved on in last 10 years and might be a good time to buy with sales on.

prbrown, technology has indeed moved on a great deal in those 10 years in terms of plastics and boot shapes, there are no bad boots out there, just ones that don't fit your feet well, best thing is to go and see a fitter and have your feet looked at with regard to what will work best, also worth remembering that they are only a bargain if they really fit you well
good luck getting sorted

FAQ
if you are within striking distance of Bicester. Or let people know where you live and they can recommend someone closer.
But I had them customised and they are a lot more comfortable as a result. I'm not sure ski boots are ever going to feel like a pair of slippers!
