Interesting - Tom Metsky - one of the moderators of the group feels as I do that hiking or even climbing boots are NOT ski boots. I had Silvretta cable bindings that allowed me to ski in my LOWA crampon boots. BUT I ended up loosing some flesh from my heel. Ski boots were designed for the movements made while skiing, other boots are not. Do yourself a great favor and NEVER even contemplate skiing in crampon boots unless they were designed for Randonee, then by all means do go right ahead. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
