Rosemont ski boots

Jan 12, 2005, 11:04 AM

Where can I find some old size 12 Rosemont ski boots? I'm tired of plastic boots coming apart every 4.2 years. I'd like to rebuild an old pair of Rosemonts if I can find them.

If anyone has any leads, please call me at 714-993-3792.

this is a joke right? rockmounts sucked when they were new. 4.5 yrs is not bad if you ski a lot. how long do you keep hikeing boots or shoes

You'll be hard pressed to find a pair of Rosemonts. Not many used 1970's gear available. The net has zip, zero, zulch Rosemonts for sale.

If you're looking for durable boots, Rosemonts are (were?) not the way to go. They were constructed using very thin plastic, great for lightness but bad for durability. Rosemont shells had a bad habit of cracking in half in cold weather.

are you sure your thinking about rosemonts. i had a pair and i thought they were fiberglass,they also had asteel shield on the outside surface [between the feet]. they had a cool side entry and little packets tocustom fit i never got mine near comfortable and they were not lite . at the time they were top of the line but that didnt last long. to go back to those boots would be like wearing the CRUEL SHOES [if you dont know the CRUEL SHOES your just to young]

Madman, you're right, I wasn't thinking of the Rosemonts, I was thinking about those old Scott boots. The Rosemonts looked like Frankenstein shoes.
