Since you already bought them, why not just go skiing and find out?

Doesn't sound like the smartest idea out there.

Did you try them on for longer than 10 minutes? What model?

The only problem is that they are a little soft for some people, and the cheaper liners pack out faster. Otherwise they are a perfectly good boot for the price.
