A couple of life extenders/reducers:

- Whatever you do, don't store them in the attic. The heat will certainly break down the plastic.

- I try to minimize walking around in my boots - wearing down the heel and tip may cause the bindings not to release properly.

If your boots are more than 15 years old, even with few days on them, I'd be thinking twice. Materials before that time were still in flux and I witnessed a lot of bust-outs of buckles and liner breakdowns. IMO Since that time, there have been no great advances in boots as far as the ordinary skier is concerned.

And no, I don't sell boots or bindings!
