i would wonder if the market has room for a core boot company. seems like there are lots of indy ski companies, and some are getting into bindings(4frnt and line). noone seems to be getting into boots though( except line, which doesnt make thiers anymore). are boots hard to make, or is there some other reason? i would support a newschool boot company, plus they could make them cheap enough for those of us with no cash. seems like a gap in the market. we have a core sock company, now we need boots!

Boots are kind of hard to get. You have to have experience to make a quality boot. But hell if a newschool company could make a good boot I would buy em.

i've always wondered this myself. boots are such a personal preferance, it seems like there'd always be room for more choice.

Boots are complicated business. I wouldn't trust a boot from some brand new company until a lot of people said they liked it.

i was thinking the same thing about dc making a ski boot. they are owned by quiksilver, so candide could pressure them

candide is sooo insignificant to quiksilver, let alone DC.

also, i wouldnt trust an upstart boot company...maybe only a ski company like 4frnt, armada, or line, if they decided to make boots. maybe. (and yes i do realize that line used to make boots, im saying if they try again, i might trust them.)

yeah!^. dc and the quiksilver thing were just ideas people. for those that wouldnt buy a new boot brand: why exactly? are you afraid of things breaking, or a bad product?

the mold required to make a ski boot is very economically troubling

I wish someone would make a lighter boot/binding system like with snowboards. Ski shit weighs a ton. Board boots n' bindings are so much lighter.

The Line boots (flexion, I beliveve...) were made by Raichele, or maybe Kniessl, but anyway, it was the same design that had been around since the 80's, so it wasn't new at all.

Boots are way more complicated to make than skis, a new boot company wouldn't get it right first time so I wouldn't buy them. Aren't DC snowboard boots shit? I know vans ones are pretty crappy. They've just got the vans brand name behind it. Do we want that for skiing?
