Ski boots and y they should take a tip from snowboarding.

h30films, usually you know what your talkin about. but skiing requires a lot more lateral stability in a boot than snowboarding does. if our boots were not laterally stiff, trying to put a ski on edge and turn would suck. in all honestly, i think you could wear a pair of hiking boots or basketball sneakers to snowboard and they would work just as well as legitimate snowboard boots, the bindings give you most of the support. look at flow bindings, they have a highback as well as the sleeve thing that goes over the top of your boot. essentially your whole boot is surrounded by the binding

 
whatever, let the comapanys do what they want, if there smart......they'll think of something cooler

i love to ski, so should you, its fun, try it sometime
 
SKi boots are where they should be. If you buy good ski boots get a cutom footbed for your feet, and mold them properly and have the correct size you should NEVER have a problem. think of soft boots in relation to snowboards switch and clicker bindings. with that kind of system you lose hella control and response. the idea of a soft boot for skiing is one aimed at the 'recreational' skier who is more intersted in having the newest most trendy things and look 'cool' going down the hill.

Remember, theres no such thing as bad snow! just shitty skiers!
 
yah KAF i know the verses are total pieces of shit, but i was just using the example.....i actually tried a pair on just for kicks and they have a flex index of like -145.....you can just stand there and flex forward until your knees touch the ground, seriously

Well, before you start fantasizing about all the new shit you can put into boot technology, keep in mind that all major boot making companies are funded and run by 40-50 year old farts that wont fix a thing if it aint broke.

 
thats not true ^^^ that is a total stereotype... u think a 50 year old guy came up with the idea for the 1080 boot? NO! they get pros to say what they want in a boot and the manufacturers make it for them

I think the best thing that could happen to ski boots right now is for them to get lighter...the lighter the better...I'm happy with a hard shell and the current design. I think that the companies need to do some materials research. If they could make a carbon fiber boot that was practical and wouldn't shatter, it would be the shit. Unforunately they would be hella expensive.

break it down...hard
 
Ya alright i admit not reading all the responces so if i repeat anyone sorrty, but i know that salomon has soft boots made kinda for freestyle skiing and i know there are other companies that are doing the same. For those boots your feet fit comfortable, and they have support and there are buckles and laces which is different. Well thats all i have to say about that. Thanks

 
LACES ARE GAY! wanna know why most ski boots dont have laces? CUZ THERE GAY! y would u wanna tie that shit up all the time? the boots are gettin lighter and lighter every year... the 1080 boots have made an improvement in the last 4 years makeing there boot alot lighter
