- I've tried the 9.0 Equipe boot for a day. I liked it so and so. I had troubles
- finding the right size. My main complaint tho' is the insulation! There isn't
- any, almost. The temps were down to -18 deg centigrade and I nearly froze my
- feet off. For that reason alone, I'd never by a 9.0 Eq. I've never been so cold
- in my entire skiing career!
