Actually, I have a question about my old Salomon boots ...they were Evolution 9.1 and I bought them in 1995 to heli ski. I loved these boots they were some of the original built for women boots and the fit was awesome. I usually ski 1 week out of the year since I now live in the south. On Feb 14,2009 I was skiing at Snowshoe down Cupp Run after just completing Shay a double black diamond and I had no falls and about 1/3 of the way down the run, it felt like I caught an edge and just sat down. To my shock, the entire sole of the boot remained in the binding and the upper was separated. The inner boot support was on the slope, The entire boot then split over the top of the foot. I have usually skied the edges and cruise at good speeds and this really was unsettling that my boot "blew up" for such a minor turn. What happened? What boot would be similar since I am not sure I really want to rent boots? I do not believe that I have trated these boots badly...I have never seen this.
