Is it worth replacing the heel pads on the boots if it looks like
the rest of the boots looks good? I've searched the web and
it's hard to find the pads for my specific boots which are
Salamons.


They are the Performa Forte 9.0.


I've checked the Salamon web site and they don't seem to
sell them.


You need to get onto a shop who specializes in Salomon. I replaced the lugs
on my Atomics 2 winters ago as they were very worn down by the long walk to
and from the locker room. Surefoot did it for me, they went through their
supplier. So a rep, or a shop with good lines of supply are the go. It's
definitely worth replacing the lugs. I'll probably need to do mine again in
a few years.

I got almost new heels by buying a used pair of ski boots from Play It
Again Sports. I took an old heel with me and compared used pairs of
boots until I found a pair that had the right size/shape of heels.
Paid about $10 US as I remember, about 3 years ago.
