Just wondering what they're like. I was looking at some in the shop today.
Do they actually feel more 'flexy' , especially on your shin ?
How do they perform out of the park ?
Do they let water in ?


Made in Tasmania.

Suitable for ages 5+.
Set includes lots of guns and ski equipment.

Yea im just bought a pair of the Salomon Soft Boots this year and i do like them quite a bit. they definatly do flex a lot more then regular ski boots and are not as responsive as my other salomon boots but they are damn comfy. i can ski for days straight and have no problems at all. i think that they are a great boot to ski in the park with because of the flex in them but some say they flex to much. go try a pair out and see what you think

Raichle Carver's are da shit. They are super light and pretty soft. I love them. They are just like the F-ONE but a bit softer.

soft boots are great. i used the Atomic 4.45 all last winter and they probably saved me from breaking my legs a few times....but the downfall is because they flex so easily, you can sometimes jam your toes really bad

I'm rocking the Rossignol Carbon Fiber Soft 1 Team Edition. It rules!! I love that boot. It ski's really well, not to mention the nice, soft landings in the park. Wehn you're skiing with this boot, it makes you feel like a better rider. You guys should definately try on a pair of Softs. They come in 3 different stiffness's and there's also a ladies line.

i ride the Line Transfers. Material wise, they are not a soft boot. flex wise though, they are very soft. When i first got um, it was a little wierd cause i was ridin X-Screams. But after a couple days they feel awsome. they are great! i love um. you learn to control the ski a little different. skiing fakie is sweet too with um.
