A press for a ski that you can adjust the settings for different models is about $300,000. A boot mold, which cannot adjust, is $200,000 each. Thats why you dont see many boot companies with a huge selection of sizes, and why their boots are basically the same shape.
This is also why most ski companies have very similar shapes to them, with differences being only in length and width, but same basic design.
this is why most ski companies share the factories with other ski companies.
