Thanks Kevin, that's an excellent tip!
I probably received bump rubbers for the Manual variety also then. For now, preformance is passable, and may even help me learn to apply force straight down the blades. For good lateral push, I will need to get me some Manuals or Pilots, then? Any idea if it might help to make a small modification to my Automatics, like a thin sheet of steel (coke can) in between shoe pin and binding? |

Thanks David, the BC thing was something I was wondering about, why do folks use those. I figured even warmer boots, didn't even consider the knobby shoes required their own binding system.
I've yet to visit Flevonice, but it's on the planning. Best distance skating you can get without 2 weeks of solid freezing. Only in Holland, I suppose. Maybe if Global Warming were true, Sweden could cough up for one. Quite a project, 5km of outdoor ice. Makes a ski tunnel seem like a school assignment. Thanks also for some of those other links that were new to me. J |

In awe : Adidas Skating Pro
I always liked Adidas.
This one they say converts to Classic. Have you tried it? I tried an Alpina combi last year. I couldn't see how to remove the cuff. It was terrible for classic with cuff on. I like the idea of a classic boot with tons of support. But it seems that maybe only race boots offer enough support and good fit control in the first and most important area: the sole, then the upper and finally a cuff. I'm doing intense touring with my NNN set-up. I don't hanker for the BC stuff -- don't need the weight. A good strong light boot would be enough, I think, for me. --JP |

The cuff seems to be un-clickable. But if that leaves us with a usefull classic boot...? I just return from Dutch Nordic Festival. One girl just didn't tie he cuffs to join a classic class. Isn't the sole between classic and skating different by design? |
