I wouldn't normally do this, but there seems to be a few of you that are familiar with the Salomon Ellipse boot that can be used for touring. Its a good deal, and just wanted to pass on the info. It was basically a rental boot designed to work with their Snowtrip binding system. It has a ski/walk mode, rubberized sole... just check out the boots here:

Chris Davenport used these to summit and ski the 14,000 ft peaks in Colorado.
