New skis and old boots
Started by User in Ski Chatter, 25 Replies
Seriously.

Take the liners out and remove the insoles that came with the boot.

Get a cheap pair (all you are looking to do is reduce the boot's volume) and put them in first, followed by the original ones.

Worked an absolute treat for me and the fit was as good as new.

Cheap as.

I may even have something you can use.
Best moment of the season (so far!)

Going on holiday with a big group including Tony_h and his wife and son, Stewart Dowling and his missus plus a load of others, so I'm sure I haven't had that best moment yet...


Was great meeting Ellistine and his mad missus in Mayrhofen though.

"Gonner-ear" Kim!! :D

Morning mate

I don't know a great deal about this subject, but I am aware its easy to get it wrong!

I would suggest getting some professionsl advice (no disrespect to any of the posters on here, apart from SD!) as you don't want to use the wrong stuff and end up causing the skis to drag or even have the wax pulled out on very cold snow or ice.

I'll have a chat with the guy from Nott'm when I see him and would also suggest the Irish guy in Sauze next to our hotel.

Toko, I know is very good. I've not heard of Swix. Holmenkohl (?) is also an excellent product, but may be a bit pro for your needs.

Perfect timing as I am going there for the first time with bunch of nutter from somewhere in Cambridgeshire.



LINCOLNSHIRE FOR GOD'S SAKE MAN.

And yes, I am shouting!!
That reads as though you could be skiing semi-naked Stewart.

Been on the Peroni already?

As I said...

"Wally" :lol:

I don't know where you're looking mate, but the most I can see forecast is 2cms this sunday, followed by lots more sun.

They'd better get the snow cannons fired up...
A quick note about Chemmy Alcott

If I had several pairs of skis, I'd give her one.
