Thread: Putting Vibram soles on ski boots

I am in the process of building my self the "ultimate ski boot" And am going to put vibram soles on the bottom of my new Plug boots. I am also puttting a boot lift on these bad boys, and then grinding the toe and heil peice back down to DIN that way I can replace the soles every year when I wear them out insted of having to buy new boots. But I want to put vibram soles on one set of the boot lifts, so on days that I need it ill actually have traction on the bottom of the boots. The question is, where the hell can I get Vibram soles at????? and yes I know that they will cause the bindings not to release as easily, but since i am using looks with a din of 18 I am not to concered about my skis realeasing.

Also part to is, when heating hte boots to blow out the shells with a boot expander, what temp on the heat gun do i use? I have been ussing high, but it doesnt seem to heat the area evenly all the way threw, any suggestions?

any shoe repair shop has a selection of Vibram soles.

Damn undie gudie, you're sure keeping yourself busy up there!

Get a hold of mtnlion. I don't know if he ever came over to this board or stayed at powder. He's done a couple or more pair already so can give you some insight on it too. He got me a catalogue for a Canadian shoe repair supplier that has all the stuff. When I get to work I'll try to get the name and they may have a website. Not sure if ANY shoe repair would stock them but certainly some of the better one's should and most could order them I'm sure.
