I recently jumped into my, good to me, ski boots to find the liners lining materials to be either decomposing or the cats took to visiting them when no-one was around, ya know what I mean.
The surface fabric is clingy-sticky and the foam behind it seems to be a bit sticky/tacky too.
I've poured a load of baby powder into them and that's the only way i can wriggle/cram my feet into these dang boots. They ski just fine until I reverse procedure and have to ripp my feet back out, which is no fun either.
History: I've gone from a life of beg, borrow or steal Lange XLR's which I've totally cooked them all to death along with many broken and bent skis. Did I mention I'm old and have skied my whole life... so far, anyways... so, I had to switch to some easy comfy boots as my feet were suffering some lack of feeling and some not too comfortable issues that my best guess was attributed to my years and years, decades of "Lange foot".
Now I'm in a comfy Salomon (rental?) boot also fairly old, 7 years. Salomon X Wave 8.0 with a Sensifit liner(What ever the hell that is) and the materials seem to be getting older faster than me, how can that be...
Any advice/help, more baby powder(Its on the list), that an old fart on a pension should/could do about it?
Lemmeknow... Thanks Roo
