A low-cost entry into XC skiing
08-15-08 ![]() |
These boots gave me a cheap way to get into XC skiing -I got a used pair of skis/bindings/poles for cheap on eBay and these boots. For about $110 total, I now have a rig to zip around in parks and up and down the lakeshore here in Chicago. It is always nice when manufacturers give a nod to backward compatibility (in this case the 3-pin binding) in this techie jungle of newfangled, mutually incompatible designs. By using equipment older than the cutting edge, you can get good results for a small fraction of the price of the latest designs. The boots are comfortable for my narrow, flat feet. (As always in footwear, though, your results may vary.) They keep my feet plenty warm and dry. I haven't yet run into any problems with soreness or blistering. All told, these boots are a winner. |
