I'd very much like to find a manufacturer of XC ski shoes or boots for the new Salomon bindings or some other kind of regular XC bindings, for better control and lighter weight, etc. I've talked to various outlets in town, who have boots up to ski boot size 49 (13-14?), but my big toe still is not happy. Does anyone have any suggestions? For regular shoes I can go to tall/big mens shops or order from the Kingsize (tm) catalog, but apparently not many big men go XC skiing. I'm a tall guy at 5 foot 26, so the feet are proportional. thx for any help, Dave Rasmussen ...ihnp4!uwmcsd1!dave ...uwmcsd1!dave@wisc-rsch "Hey man, you ain't no 5 foot tall!" (yea, right!)
