Rossignol Free Xx Ski Boots Size 8 (£110)

These are my boots, bought about 3 years ago for £230 but not very heavily used, probably about 12 days in total. The only marks are a few scrapes on the buckles but otherwise in excellent, near-new condition.

The boots are size 8, but might also suit a size 7 or 7.5 if you like to ski a little looser for comfort.

These have a thermo fit mould lining so the front of the boot warms and moulds to your toes the rear allows fro precision control and technique. These are very responsive and an excellent boot for all levels be it a beginner for superb comfort and control to intermediate / advanced who like to freeride a little harder and require excellent response.

They have 4 buckles for precise comfort, this means you can adjust the boots my a matter of millimeters, they have adjustable flex and spolier for additional support dependant on weight, height and ability.

The boot has the basic 4 micro-adjustable binding so the skier can change the tight/looseness by millimeters. You have two adjusters for flex, so you can change the boot so you get your ideal rising and falling. This means you the skier have the choice of how far you bend your knees to get a good response.

The tongue is honeycomb style, to "wisk away" water from your leg and give you a dry seal with the boot. The power strap is great. It is wider than most and really does give you extra power. I never felt loose in my heel area. This is probably because of the adjustable fit inner boots. They are supposed to mold to your foots shape,

Loaded with performance and comfort features, these boots are a great choice for freeride skiers who want to go anywhere and do anything.. Total Thermo Fit inner boots mold to the exact shape of your feet for a warm, comfortable fit. Conformable soles use a softer material near the toes to optimize comfort and stiff materials in the heel for effective turn initiation. Cockpit design and Inverted Overlap bring the shells close to the feet for a responsive, efficient transmission of energy and effective edging. Four aluminum micrometric buckles and adjustable buckle racks help to create a precise and custom fit that won't bind or pinch. Flex adjustment allows you to set the flex according to your weight, skiing ability and power. Double canting adjustment allows the upper cuff to line up with your leg's shape for increased comfort.

There is also a large additional neck strap, this is oversized to allow extra support meaning you can really lean into these boots and push forward, will help immensely in getting the right posture if you are still learning.

Anyway, I hope that covers everything. Anyone is welcome to come and try them on. Thanks for looking!
