seems really focused on comfort, is that a good thing?
Friend of mine loves them, but he's in his late 60s and doesn't do much more than ski groomers. He's an advanced skier, but one dimensional. He says they're very comfortable and warm and likes to walk around in the lodge in the inner boot. I also met a woman last year who had them, but she was in her 60s and, being from Virginia, didn't get out much. She also loved them.
Other people feel that what they add in comfort, they may lose in performance. As for me, I'd like to demo them for for the fun of it, even if they are beyond my pay grade.
Here's an epicski thread about them: http://www.epicski.com/t/102828/apex-ski-boot
Agreed, I would love to take them for a demo on an easy family runs where performance is not the most critical factor. If you find a place where they demo them, please let us know.
Have you been wanting to demo Apex Ski Boots for a while now?! Here is your chance! We are hosting a demo with Dekdebrun Ski Shop & Curley's Snowboard Emporium at HoliMont tomorrow, Friday the 6th. Hope to see you there!
well, according to Facebook we just missed a demo day, in NY State (south of buffalo)
A bit far for me, about 6h drive.
not exactly the meca of east coast skiing, why they'd go there is beyond me.
what is the benefit of those boots?
Walkabilty, which would lead to much greater comfort than you can achieve in typical boots, no matter how well they're fitted.
