I've heard the liners they use are made of something that's not supposed to pack out nearly as much or at all compared to other liners.

I think they look like a perfectly average slack-country boot.

Will eagerly await reviews.

They have a walk mode and no power strap, why so gaper icelantic?

Also I'm pretty sury Amplid made this boot a few years ago, never took off. I predict these will be gone pretty soon.

I am sure you can buy them in a smaller size, if you got small feet

bottom two are the original boots from years ago - the two top boots are the Deeluxe - http://www.deeluxe-hardboots.com/products/free-zone/ and the Icelantic version

The white ones on top are the ones amplid was doing a couple years ago, which never really went on sale. Not the icelantic ones.

I really hope my meter is broken.

Icelantic makes some of the best, most durable, fun skis out there.

As for the boots, just buy a BOOSTER Strap, its better than any stock power strap that comes with any boot.

Yeah I've ridden both styles of nomad, shamans and pilgrims and they were all quite sick. If I lived somewhere with a bit more snow then jersey nomad sfts would probably be my every day ski.

honestly icelantic skis are sick but the boot seems like its nothing special especially with the the lack of a power strap i think it kinda makes the company look bad

The site says it comes with booster straps, but you can buy them separately for cheap anyway so i don't know why people are bitching about it. the walk mode is interesting, i am curious to see how it holds up against abuse for multiple seasons and i like the forward lean options, riding race plugs for a couple years has made me love how tight they are but also despise having a steel-like flex and racer-stance. I'd really like to hear from someone that has actually worn them and not all these negative opinions from people that are hating on how the boot looks. I'm just glad someone is making narrow last boots for freestyle skiing that don't have only 3 buckles and cables holding the shit together.
