Even when you do that, there is no guarantee that they don't buy some of the raw material from China.

It's pretty much impossible to escape giving some money to china unless you produce everything yourself.

Ditto on the ski/snowboard boots. AT LEAST five years old. Several brands have come out with two and three zone adjustment now. I have a single zone, and it's still total win. Completely even adjustment down the entire boot.

I was extremely leery of the lace breaking at first, but from what I've found, it's no harder to relace than traditional. Only trick is popping the ratchet apart, and it's not much different than a weedeater head.

Is the lace line plastic or steel braided w/ plastic coating since it says electrical hazard?

Tommy. How do you go about removing patient shoes?

That bit was mostly in sarcastic jest. I couldn't give a shit where money goes or who suffers as long as I'm satisfied with the product

Yup. I've used these on snowboard boots. They actually work quite well.

Braided stainless with a plastic coating to prevent corrosion and reduce friction. Kind of like stainless brake lines.
