It costs too much money to make your own boot. Armada would have to do it because they have enormous financial backing from british royalty. Otherwise somebody would have to just take an old boot and remake it and taht is soo not core. It is so hard to make a good boot, even companies that have been around for fifty+ years have had to copy Lange in order to be competetive on the race level. In fact at the world cup level almost every boot is a Lange or a 100% lange knockoff. How is some small company going to make an original boot that fits well? It's impossible or at least highly unlikely to occur. I'd wear it though, if it fit as good as the new Heads.

ya but the problem you would find is people have different sole widths, insteps, and tow widths. For each boot you make you'll have to almost make like 3 or 4 different fits of the shell for that boot, if you wanted to appeal to everyone. For example if you make a boot similar to a lange, people that normally wear salomon, nordica, or head, would probably have a hard time fitting into it. But if you create a boot similar to nordica's you would have a hard time appealing to someone that may wear lange or technica...you really should wait for more "core" boot companys to start up unless you want to make a super huge selection of shells, and liners

like it has already been said before...a rollerblading company should step in and do up newschool boots. that, or a snowboard boot company.
