We think there are some good performance oriented Touring Boots on the market now. Sometimes going with a New Boot is not an option. We find there are skiers out there that want to stick with their current alpine boots because........ 1. Don't want to invest in another ski boot 2. Finally got their current boots comfortable and working 3. Need the performance from an alpine oriented boot 4. Current boot has a walk mode but no tech inserts These are just some of the reason why some people choose to go with our Boot conversion verse buying a new boot.
