I saw and tried one of these at S&R and it works very well but still a little bit overpriced in MHO.

Looks like a great idea, but once the first boot is off, what hold the thing while taking the second boot off? Your foot in just a sock, on a snowy/wet piece of plastic?
because I'm so inclined .....

I wondered that. I did mention it to one of the people at the ski show who was trying to sell them. She just looked awkward and made some noises.
I wish I could meet the person who first decided to strap 2 planks to their feet and throw themselves down a mountain

Good point Trencher and Emma. I think you unclip your straps and buckles then just lean forward out of your boots and place your feet into a pair of fur lined slippers :D I must admit that I expend too much energy getting out of mine at the end of a days skiing. Perhaps the group I ski with in February would all chip in quid each and we could invest in one :wink:

I never have trouble taking my boots off but I sometimes had problems putting them on by that I mean getting the buckles done up ....... Until I saw a little gadget advertised for a fiver which fits over the boot clip and just gives you that little extra leverage to close the buckle, a fantastic idea that doesn't break the bank and works.
