Try Recreational Equipment Incorporated (REI).

After exhausing the cross country ski specialists in the UK (Aviemore*2,
Braemar, Ilkley), I find that nobody carries traditional leather touring
boots and does not plan to get stock in the future. I've done some Google
searching for retailers with no success.

This is a bit of a problem as I really don't want to go to plastic touring
boots; I'm of the view they are second-best and over-heavy for what I want
to do, and would force me onto wider skis, etc...


The sort of boot I'm after are like the Garmont Tour, 75mm binding.
Suitable
for off-track touring. The makers list them on their website, but it
seems
that importers/retailers feel there is insufficient demand to be worth
stocking.


Can anyone suggest a supplier with stock ? Or other makers of boots ?
I guess its likely to be in Norway, so a shop which can discuss things in
English and/or mail order to the UK would be useful.


Thanks for any suggestions ; please post replies.
If you need to email me, go to the contacts page on the website below.
