Default Boot alternatives for roller skiing

Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anyone is manufacturing "summer" skating boots
(profil, pilot or R4) for roller-skiing??

I'd like to avoid trashing my winter skating boots, and perhaps
something with less insulation / more ventilation would be nice for
off-snow work.

Thanks!

Cheers,
Chris

I've heard a rumor that there is a salomon boot that was made for
roller skiing, but have never seen it.

Almost everyone I know uses their old boots for roller skiing. If you
don't have an old pair of boots consider buying a cheap pair off ebay
or from your local ski shop in the summer.

You can see them in the photos at the bottom of the page.
