it's lousy boot for pre-season rail jams in the mud. white turns to brown quickly. Thats important right?

Absolutly the most important. and I am finished carring about the rest of NS foot pain. there is a reason you can't buy boots online from jibij.

well it is really the bigest nock off in the history of skiing. What salomon did was they took a couple of pieces of plastic and shoved some pading in the top so it would look like it is well paded took some pics of it and photoshoped it onto the all of the pics of their riders, inreality it is a shitty boot with no pading except in the top and other then that it is just plastic molded to the general form of a human foot. As far as for most of the kids that posted here, the have probably never worn it out in the cold, and most have definatly not worn it while skiing.

Ha, well all the pros ive seen wearing them said they are the best boot ever, and im sure that pros would say that just so you would buy them, but i dunno about pete doing that. So far they have felt just slightly more comfy than my old ass 1080s while skiing (rail in yard) i cant wait to take them on groomer.

Btw i hope you are kidding, because they have mad padding.

AMEN TO THAT i work in a shop and you would be suprised to see how many kids come in and buy boots because there "cool" or they come in to fit a boot that is way to big. boots should not fit like shoes they should be tight your foot should feel the end. i have an 11 shoe and a 9 boot

yea i have a thirteen shoe but ended up in a 29.5 spk cause it fit me perfectly, even though its technically for a size 11 foot i think. the shell on an spk is also bigger than other boots. my old technica diablos, also a 29.5, were about a finger and a half small in the fitting process.
