Just got my new boots. Figured I would wear them a bit to break them in before riding(or more like make my feet used to wearing boots again). I though nothing was more fitting then to browse NS in then ski boots!

On a side note, the 08 Krypton pro's are the pimpest boots I've ever known. Love the customizable parts it comes with, great idea. They are so adjustable, and when right feel so nice. STOKED!!!

but seriously, why cant companies just make high level boots in black? Maybe offer more then one color for each model?  Maybe I dont want bright ass green...

haha when i got my latest pair of boots i slept in them, did wonders for comfort when i started skiing in them.
and yeah i get where you're coming from on the colours, i have bright red dalbellos and they don't go with the rest of my gear at all...

How about a cult spreading the proper spelling and conjugation of the verb: wear...
Anybody?

wasn't aware that wearing your new boots around the house actually made a difference when you skied them. i just thought that i was weird like that... but now that i know i won't feel bad about it anymore, thanks ns!!
