Throw in an AT heel option like the Meidjo and you just might have the perfect skiing telemark bi...

Duckbill boot question...

Has anyone on here skied the Scott Synergy boots? Supposedly they are "old" wide last versions of the the Garment Ener-G. From what I can tell this is the same last Gramont molded into their boots up until 2006, at which time they went from a 103mm last to a minus 100mm last. The thing I love most a...

Re: Anybody know a good cobbler?

Interesting failure on my 75mm Alpina Alaskas.

Re: Help Me Choose: Burly Leather Boots vs. Soft Plastic Boots

Problem is there are two kinds of boot stiffness one good, one bad. Stiffness that prevents sole torsion bending is good--at a certain ski width it gets hard to put a ski on edge with a boot whose sole torques when you lift the heel. At some point it doesn't matter how hard you big-toe-little-toe i...
