Perhaps, might actually be too grippy or not enough with the skins, plus those metal clips at the front might really heap. Get yourself a pair and experiment, things get harder to predict when the snow goes south

I’m curious what to use on the boot leather? Alfa has a nice write-up on their website about boot care, but I don’t remember anything specific on products. https://www.alfaoutdoor.com/service-center/care-instructions/full-grain-leather Alfa does say: “ Boots with Gore-Tex[emoji2400] waterproof tech...

My comment was assuming that was the cheapest option. If you get them cheaper still better yet

A pair of full length skins in this model should give me plenty of material to make the inserts that I need for both ski styles that I am testing.

Thanks for the feedback — I hope what I put out there is useful to others. Are those the Chenna Baree insoles from NB? https://www.chennabaree.com/shop/ Which ones do you like, the Ortho-natural insoles , or the Winter ones? I can’t figure out why the winter ones are $11 less? I like the idea of a ...

Stephens detailed review/comments is some of the best and to the point I’ve read in a long time. thanks for your input. So I gather you finally bit the bullet and ordered guards online? Any how, just wanted to thank you for your great input and add that all boots, even the best, merit an insole repl...

Stephen, I believe most people who have raved about the Guard here have not themselves owned or tried the skarvet. Both are great boots. if I were you I would get the skarvets locally and be happy knowing you own one of the top NNN BC boots ever made.
