Ernie00 Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 I know a few of you have kids and I am curious about ski boots. My son is soon to be 5 and will be at his 4th season. I've seen those boots that are adjustable and find the concept intresting but if they are a piece junk. Anyone have experience with them ? http://www.levelninesports.com/Roces-2014-Adjustable-Kids-Ski-Boots thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't used the boots you mention but ski swap season is fast approaching there are usually huge selections of kids stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie00 Posted September 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 I have been renting for the past few years and it's been great to us with pretty good equipment. for 69$ a year for boot, ski and bindings it's hard to beat. Second child is an option also ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Prokopiw Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) Our boys haven't used the Roces boots but we did do season rentals for a couple of seasons like Ernie suggested.The rental boots were one or two buckle pieces of doodoo however(as long as we're talking kids stuff ;-) our boys surprised us by advancing rapidly and I had them in Rossignol Comp J's for last season.There are better boots for more money but I have found these to be great bang for the buck considering that they are responsive and flexible enough to enhance rather than detract from skill building.One pair I found o ebay for 45.00 shipped in excellent condition and the other in like new condition at a local Goodwill for...wait for it... 7.00! We took great care of the boots and it will be no problem to sell them for more than 7.00 :-) There is a video on our youtube channel that shows my youngest at six having no problem hanging with the group on crappy rentals-you should see now in the Rossi's :-) p.s. Dalbello makes great kids' boots too. I've seen them new and used for great deals. Edited September 5, 2013 by Steve Prokopiw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie00 Posted September 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 We are lucky we get to pick the package with better boots and pay more, last year I was able to get boots with 3 buckles for the season. Thanks for the info. My son will turn 5 soon and we go ride the trees, some little pow and pretty much all the runs so we are having fun.

Surf Quebec Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 I have 3 sons so it's even cheaper.... I've never used that kind of boots for my kids. Fall sale is starting today at Mont St-Bruno, I've been buying and selling skis, boots, snowboards there for 5-6 years, you can buy good equipment for cheap and resell it the year after.

BlueB Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Note that Roces seem to have the ankle hinge point missalligned with the ankle! My kid also had the Rossi, mentioned above. Good boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have experience with them ? http://www.levelninesports.com/Roces-2014-Adjustable-Kids-Ski-Boots thanks My 2 cents I have 2 children 7&8 who have been skiing since about 2 yrs old. Full-tilt growth spurts have been great! highly recommend them http://fulltiltboots.com/ski-boots/growth-spurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aracan Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 My daughter has been in two consecutive pairs of those Roces boots, and they were definitely worth the money, seeing as she has gone through about 12 sizes in 5 years. Renting would have been rather expensive, as we usually ski/board on weekends. The manufacturing quality of the boots is all right. They are not made to really put pressure on the skis, they are kids' boots. But the fit seems to be o.k. (she never complained), and the level of support is sufficient. We always had to crank them down very tight, however, as her feet have always been rather long, but skinny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
