That does look like Nordic rocker for sure and it would be neat if they were made like that, but it could have developed from use. I had a pair of Karhu XCD-GTs from the mid eighties that developed it. I took them to the shop in the late nineties and when the tech squeezed the bases together the tip...

Never say never Kid, I felt the same way until I got some thermomouldable T4s. If I want to go fast and far I have xc skis for that, and they turn too.

That's a nice one Jack, I haven't seen a good comet since Hale Bop in 97'

You forgot something; this isn't my boot, it's my GF... So be careful what you're saying...

She could always polish them.
