Hello Ballers,

I know this is a slalom ski forum but there are a few footers out here. The Nautilus Ski Co. is at it again, I just finished up a new pair of Custom Barefoot Shoe Skis. I build each product by hand myself using the finest aerospace materials, engineering, and manufacturing processes in the world. The longevity and performance of my boots are world renown as the very best in the industry with many world class athletes getting 10+ years out of the same pair. My design and fit has little to no break in period which makes them ready to use right out of the box. I charge a flat rate fee which includes casting, taxes, shipping and handling in the USA of $750.00 US for the Barefoot Training Shoes. If you are interested in purchasing a pair, please send me an e-mail to kohensports@yahoo.com so I can send you the order form and start processing your materials. I look forward to hearing from you and building you the very best boots in the world!

PS: If you got this far....I have new slalom boots coming out soon.

Kindest regards,

Bruce

@SlalomSteve Just what I know:

Nate skis with a D3 T-Factor front rubber binding and rear toe loop. Most ski manufactures offer rubber bindings of some sort.

Reflex makes the most popular of the Hardshells with a snowski style rear release system. HO and EDGE have a hardshell system that uses the same snowski style rear release. MOB (Mikes Overall Binding) has a great release system and I believe offers hardshell boots as well. Goode has a hardshell system that is attached with 3M Duo Lock. Radar has a hybrid boot that is neither hardshell or rubber. Kohen Sports (me) makes customs hardshell boots fitted to custom casts of your feet that you can use any release system. They are 100% custom so I build 'em how you want 'em....

As far as who uses what, that varies from skier to skier. Some use rear toe loops. Some have double boots. Some have a rear toe with a heel cup. That is all what feels best to the skier and what they ski best on.

Here are some Pix of Custom front and rear boots I have in process this week. More pix to come as they progress through production.....

@Moffattra I build custom high performance athletic shoes and boots from high end aerospace materials and manufacturing processes

. Those are Olympic Short Track Speed Skating boots. These are Long Track

boots....

These are Barefoot training shoes:

@Stevie Boy How about a really bad SS custom carbon fiber single slalom case with killer new custom carbon matrix I am using on the skate boots. I am guessing around $10k for the mold, mandrel and vacuum press. $2.5k each for production cases. It would take 10 orders to get it into production but it would be seriously bad to the bone......
