Can the boot inner be removed from Nordica W8 Easy Move ski boots?How?
I've got myself a pair of ski boots from ebay that are a great
bargain, great condition and great fit..... .....and a great deal wiffy! (Our pet cat has taken offence and left the room...) Can the inner be removed from the shell? If so, how? Is it fixed anywhere? Would washing the inner possibly damage it? How about the cool wool cycle and low speed spin? My question in short- Is the a way of removing and washing and deodorising? |

Putting them back is more difficult - again muscle them in. Some people remove the inner to dry after every ski day. Some people are anal. Would washing the inner possibly damage it? How about the cool wool cycle and low speed spin? No idea. My question in short- Is the a way of removing and washing and deodorising? Spray them full of Fabreze. |

Thanks for the tips.
I've tried the Fabreze as suggested. Its good but the small is still there. So I pulled the inners out. I found loads of black pin mould on the outside of the inner and also inside the shell of the boot. This is the culprit rather than the previous owner's smelly feet! I've put the inners through a washing machine cycle and they are much better. I sprayed the inside of the shells with bleach cleaner, put then in the shwer and hosed them out under pressure. Lots of spot black mould came out. They are nice and clean. However, I did notice that one of the shells was leaking water out. Does this mean it will let wetness from snow in? Also, I've found the inners were actually fastened to the roof of the forefoot of the boot, with no clue on the outside of how to undo this. So I have a tiny tear in the top of them and a tiny bit left attached to the shell and no way of reattaching the inners to the shell. I thought the inners are usually removeable? Will I have the inners moving/sliding about inside the boot now I wonder? They are a nice, snug fit, same as before these treatments. |

If you find a leak, repair is with Duct Tape. Also, I've found the inners were actually fastened to the roof of the forefoot of the boot, with no clue on the outside of how to undo this. So I have a tiny tear in the top of them and a tiny bit left attached to the shell and no way of reattaching the inners to the shell. Cover the rough spots with Duct Tape. Duct Tape is your friend. Keep some with your ski gear. I thought the inners are usually removeable? Will I have the inners moving/sliding about inside the boot now I wonder?

Sorta like trying to extinguish a pile of burning hair by pouring patchoulli on it. However, I did notice that one of the shells was leaking water out. Does this mean it will let wetness from snow in? If you find a leak, repair is with Duct Tape. 3M 5200 Marine adhesive sealant. There is no better way to repair a leak in anything. Think of it as liquid duct tape. //Walt |

Think of it as liquid duct tape. quality of repair is not important - maintaining a traditional dirt-bag appearance is. plus you can wrap a few yards of duct tape around your pole below the grip so you always have some - bet you can't do that with 3M 5200 Marine adhesive sealant. |
