I really like these boots

By Steve Ranked #270 - Cross Country Skiing December 8, 2009

I'm a bigger guy, 6'3" 220, and bought these last year, along with a pair of Fischer Snowbound Crown backcountry cc skis. Great combo for somebody looking for a little stability. At my height, and being an accomplished downhiller, I like the stiffness of the boot along with the metal edges of the skis, it gives me the ability to STOP! The boots are comfortable, warm, and great for any conditions. I used them in Chicago's frigid winter last year, skiing the local golf courses, skiing in howling winds and below zero wind chills. They are well made and easy to get off and on in the cold weather. My old Rossi boots wore out quickly. Not these. I think boots will out live me, and I plan to live 50 more years. One note, these need the BC NNN bindings and WILL NOT FIT regular NNN bindings.
