Whitewoods 302 Nordic Ski Boots - Waterproof, NNN (For Men and Women)

These are fine entry-level boots for people who don't want to spend a lot of money to get out and ski a little. If you relace the boots (do a google search for "lacing for a better fit"), you can tweak how tightly you can get them to lace, and this can make a big difference in your enjoyment. Paired with a set of gaiters, these boots have performed really well for me all winter & I'm much happier with them than my old, more expensive boots.

This is an overall good product.

These boots are cheap and comfortable. That's it for the positives. They are appropriate for the occasional light tour skiier who skiis close enough to the car to walk out if their boots fail them. I used these for one season. The plastic toe cover cracked immediately on both boots. The soles delaminated on both boots. One sole tore off the boot, so I repaired it, then aa couple of trips later, the other sole tore off. Material is starting to fray at the sides of the bood. Eyelits pull out. Having the soles of touring ski boots come off in the backcountry can be very dangerious. Lucky for me, I had some tire inner-tube bands to tie the aole to the boot and limp two miles to the road. If I had been ten miles in with nothing to repaire, I would have have had to essentially have had to walk nearly barefoot in the snow. I have 30 year old entry level boots from the 80's all crackly and ugly that hold up better than these boots new. Spemd more money and get a more reliable paire of boots.

sizing/fitting was a problem. have several euro fits with running shoes, bike shoes, etc. your euro vs. u.s. sizes were different than all others. example: my shoe sizes have been 43/44 euro, but yours was 45. not sure why????? as well, I was unaware of the difference between BC-NNN and NNN style/model of boot. both of these issues required trial and error which cost me time and $$$$.

These boots are great for the price. They are very warm and that is saying alot for me, a woman who's feet are always cold and it gets very cold here in Jackson.
