    Thanks for the feedback guys!!  I just rode them straight out of the box.  The smack to the back of the head is go get them molded… there’s a ski/snow shop close to me that does boot liner molding, gonna give them a call and see what the can do, just may keep them then.. thanks again,

  3. M29 Deeluxe Track 325 Boots

    in For Sale

    Posted

    All, I have a pair of Allmost Brand New Deeluxe Track 325 Hard Boots for sale, $475 or best offer

    Background: Ridden twice! I went to the ski shop and got measured and was suggested to go with a Mondo 29.. I normally wear a size 12, US. These things gotta be to small. I rode Saturday down the green hill a dozen times to get the feeling back with the angled stance, currently my feet & calves are still store.
    my loss, wanna order a M30 but need to unload these first…

    J-bonz,

    Looks like you are getting great info. Have a savvy carver check your gear before your first run...especially if you have Cateks. All you need is one thorough inspection and an explanation of how they work. And remember that adjustments can get sloppy if set at room temp.

    Carve On~~~~

    Good Idea, I would hate to bomb the hill to crash & burn in flames.......... :smashfrea

    Sounds like there is allot of fun riding in WI. I cant wait to get out there... Oh, and the beer league sounds good also.............. :)

    So for boots, is there anyplace close I could go to get fitted or should I do the paper trick to find out what Mondo size I am?

    Thanks,

    Jr.

    Good to see so many wisconsin posts, stop out by sunburst in the west bend area, I ride and train there. It would be nice to run into some more hardbooters. We have two at our hill.

    Whens a good time to ride there? We stopped out there and it was skiied pretty hard.

    J-Bonz,

    Where in the Milwaukee area do plan on riding? I am in Waukesha and ride Alpine Valley on Monday Nights. There is a race league there, more fun than competitive. But, it helps the winter go buy and provides a good excuse to have a beer during the week.

    Good luck in your hardware search. I agree with most of the other posts.

    -Tim

    My fiance and I were living right downtown but we just moved to Johnson Creek since I work in Stoughton(Outside Madison) and she works in Menomonee falls. The only place we hit last year was Sunburst. I would like to check out Cascade and the in Wasuwa. We will have to meet up...... Even if I am rollin my softies

    Jack Michaud-"I'm of the school of thought that says money spent on a compromise is money wasted, because you will eventually upgrade to what you really want."

    I Agree 100%. I use to ride the board below with an alpine stance with soft boots. I know I will love hard boots. I always wanted a stiffer set up. Heck, When I bought soft boots last year for my Solomon 164, I told the guy at the shop give me the stiffest soft boot! I dont care what they look like!

    trikerdad-"I prefer Bomber's but, a set of Catek's is a good first binding as they're easier to make cant and lift adjustments to and, they fit both 4 hole and 3 hole boards."

    Thanks for the Input. It seems either would be a good choice.

    boarderboy-"Always your #1 priority! Central N.C.'s access to hardboot gear is probably worse than Cleveland/Milwaukee. But there's a decent ski boot fitter some 20 miles away from me, even."

    Can a regular ski shop measure me up for boots in the "mondo" scale?

    Jim-"It always helps to show your physical specs for members advice. All gear is not created equal."

    My bad, you are right. I am about 180lb & 6' tall.

    trikerdad-"I didn't say anything about your post but, only offered another opinion. Or, is that not what this forum is about?"

    No problem. Thank you for your input.

    Any thoughts on boots? Manufacturers? What thei difference is in there line of product?

    Thanks again,

    Jr.

    Hey all,

    I have been reading up and looking for some used equipment but, pretty much have decided to just buy new. I dont know whats good and what not. I just dont want to get hosed. So for this year I am looking at buying new set of bindings and Boots. I am not going to be racing, just free riding hard. I dont need the hottest set up, I just want good equipment that I can use for many years and be happy. Unfortunately there is no place around that sells hard boot equipment that I know of in WI so I will have to resort to the internet shops. I will be placing this on a 169 K2 darkstar all mt board with a 4x4 pattern for this year unless I find a used race board. So you could ya all give a list on what you would by if you were in my boots.............. Including the intec heals whatever they do............ Oh, I do know I want a binding set up that for the 3-hole & 4x4.

    Thanks

    Well,

    I measured my foot and it was 28.8. Therefore after reading the bootfitting instructions I will order a 28. I decided to buy new and want to spend between 400 to 500. I searched and read all the threads on boots. I norrowed down my options to

    1. UPZ rtr

    2. Head Stratos Pro

    3. Deeluxe Track 325

    4. Deeluxe Track 225

    Could you please give your suggestions. Remember, I will probably ride at the most 30 days a season. I want to buy a boot that will not have to touch. I dont want to worry about adding different style buckles, lean adjusters, or the inside shells. If I'm asking anything stupid, call me out on it....... Its a good way to learn.

    Thanks again,

    Jack

    Oh, I am leaning towards the UPZs

    Sizing does vary somewhat by manufacturer and model. I have worn Head ski and snowboard boots and found the sizing between the two to be consistent.

    With Raichle/Deeluxe, many including myself have observed that the AF series (Traclk 700, Indy, Suzuka, AF700, AF600) fits differently from the SB series (everything else).

    If you are buying new and are near one of the few shops that stocks boots, your best bet is to buy in person. Totally worth any added expense. If you must buy online, as I have always been forced to as the nearest hardboot-stocked store is 10 hours away, then simply follow these rules http://www.bomberonline.com/store/boots/Sizing_boots.pdf and you will have the best shot at getting the right size.

    Thanks Mike

    Your #1 priority should be proper fitting boots!

    I would spend the majority of my cash on those, and buy a cheaper board/binding if necessary. Then upgrade the board/bindings later down the road.

    Also use the shell method for getting the right size. You should be able to do this at a ski shop. Take the liner out of the boot and stick your foot in there. Check the clearance between the back of the shell and the back of your foot. Two fingers is ideal. Three is too big, one is too small. Not sure if the link above uses this method but when I used the pencil/trace method it was almost 1 size too big!

    I was wondering if getting sized for ski-boots uses the same mondo scale

    Thanks for all that responded. My first step is going to be to buy boots. I would like to buy these new and be done with it. As far as decks and bindings I would be happy with an old burton. Diggen in MN I might have to take you up on the offer. Just need to get boots first.

    Fastskiguy, After Christmas I should be out riding. Got pick up my girls new board from the shop in ohio. I wont be back there untill the holidays.

    Carvedog, Yes I have tipped a few back at AJ's. I was there for a cool regea benefit night for all of cleveland college radio stations. And yes I was the only one at brandywine trying to carve with soft boots on the GD board.

    Thanks again all

    FYI, I found out from the site how to mondo size for boots..............:)

    Hey all,

    My name is Jack. I just moved to Milwaukee Wi from Cleveland, Oh and am looking to get back into riding. Laugh but, I used to ride soft burton work boots on a gratefull dead K2 Dark Star at race style angles. It was great but I always wanted an alpine board with hard boots.

    My questions are.............

    1. Am I limited in boots and board sizes since I roughly wear size 12" boots? I am 6 foot and weigh only around 180 lbs

    2. Am I limited on bindings with big boots?

    3. Like everyone else I do check out ebay. I would like to buy some used equipment but dont want to spend money on something I cant ride.

    Any sugestions would be great or links to other posts.

    Jack
