Anyone know the name of those funny bag things that you can use to get your ski boots on? You slide your foot into this sleeve thing, slip your boot on (without the usual agony of all the bones rearranging themselves) and then whip the bag off again. Brilliant! But.... I don't know what they are called, so i can't buy one. Help please!

Not sure what is but you should keep it away from water and whatever you do, do not use it after midnight.

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

They seem to work well, and I could do with one, but £10 for a piece of slippy plastic?
Can I not make one?
Can we not have a snowheads branded one?

I think we had a thread on this before and decided that a supermarket carrier was as effective (and unecessary).

I tried the supermarket bag, and it lasted about 5 seconds. But then, if they are free it doesn't matter too much I suppose!
Thanks everyone for the help.

Just get a pair of Full Tilts getting boots on and off will never be a problem again.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

A pair of Slippins arrived today. Brilliant things if, like me, you damned nearly need to break the bones in your foot to get round the corner of a ski boot. Completely useless if you just slide into your boots without fuss, grunts, groans, pulled muscles, agony, curses and the odd tear. [That was a tear as in teardrop, not as in torn from end to end]

Which supermarket? Was is just a carrier bag, or was it an M&S carrier bag?
(To be fair, I tried one of those hessian 'bag for life' things from Sainsburys. Didn't notice much improvement

Rule 5.
But also, pull the tongue and shell to the inside , that'll open the shell up more. (at least it does on my Heads and that's how I was shown to do it by the fitter)
