I resentle boaght some 1080 pro model boots, but water gushes in every time I ski.

You need to stop waterskiing with alpine ski boots. Hope that helps.
























Just kidding! I don't really know why your boots are getting wet.

where does water 'gush in'. The only reason you are even noticing it is because your boots are translucent (i have the same boots). Every boot gets some water in between the two layers of 'plastic' if you will. Bottom line........i'd be curious to know where you're getting the most water.

don't worry about water unless your feet are getting wet... if they are, duct tape solves every problem know to man.

duct tape is the shit- i chipped off part of my topsheet on my skis, and it was down to teh core, and i didnt have any epoxy to fix it with, so i covered it in duct tape- i've skied them about 3 times since, and it works like a dream! hahaha

Is there a burning, itchy sensation? if so, consult a physician.
Do not take internally. Keep out of reach of children.
