Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all
First visit to this forum, which came up first on Google!
I have recently acquired a second hand pair of ski boots from a friend. They are Saloman, but I am at work so don't have the model number. They are basically unused and fit me well. The strange thing is that they have regular clasps for the bottom half of the foot, and a pull tight lace system for the top. Has anyone got any experience with these? Are they pants? Are they designed for a different type of skiing altogether?
Any advice gratefully received. I am off to Flaine on the 12th, and I am a moderate skier, having been about 7 or 8 weeks now in total. Are these boots going to hold me back, or shall I just leave them at home and use the rentals?
Thanks guys
Dan

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Sound like salomon verse boots, similar to rossignol soft lights. A lot of skiboarders used them. Comfy boots(if they fit your feet) but a very soft flex, possibly not ideal for you, but worth a go

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

danchurch, How many buckles do you have?
There are some older boots have the lace system and some modern ones
The Ghost and Quest both have draw strings and 3 buckles and a power strap!

As do mine! Possible the top buckle is broken or removed?
Need pics!

I have a pair of Verse 8's, laced at the bases with an upper pull toggle, with two clamps & a power strap at the top. A soft/comfy boot for sure. I love mine, ideal for me being 40+ with knackered feet! Being a high flex boot means you have to ski slightly differently, in a more gentler way but it works great for me. 9/10 for mine.
