They're some sort of limited edition boot (maybe even Japanese market). Very similar to the Ion. It was down to either another pair of Ions or the Idoms. The Idoms were more comfortable (in the shop), but $100 more, withe everything already on sale. I said to the salesperson, whom I know, that I'd take the Idioms if they were $75 less... wish granted. I haven't been able to get a season and a half out of a pair of boots yet, but that's when teaching - which involves a massive amount of skating, which chews up the toe of your free foot. One last try with the capstraps coming up... -- Jason - "redraobwons" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SkiVt-L is brought to you by the University of Vermont.
