FS: 2005 XWave10 26.5 boots $199 new
Now only one size available at shop near my office ( http://www.anymountain.net/dublin.html ):
26.5 (last pair might still be there, was there 9/19)
I'm not the seller. The shop won't accept phone payments or ship, but I'll be your middleman for a beer.
First, try on the right size at your local shop, then call my shop (info below) to reserve the boot, then PM me for my paypal address. Then PAYPAL me $240 (ship/beer markup) from your bank account (or $247 from your credit card to cover paypal fees), then I'll buy & ship.
Am I trustworthy? Yes, ask tibaher. http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=30980
THE BOOTS:
2005 XWave 10 boots new in box, Yellow with
ugly red chili peppers that are hidden in these photos:

I'd be all over this if they had 25.5!

Thanks guys. What is the flex rating from the 9.0 to the 10.0?

Same shell. Same everything except Different liner and Different rivets. Might also be slightly different sole, but not sure.
You can remove 2 rivets per boot on the 10 to make it same flex as the 9.
Or you can drill and add 2 rivets to the 9 to make it same flex as 10.Last edited by Vitamin I; 08-26-2005 at 01:48 PM.

2006 XWave9 with honeycomb shell now has a "Performance" liner, but I suspect it's the same '3D' liner just renamed "Performance". 2006 XWave10 liner is still called "PRO", and 2006 Course models have liners called "Race".
I was gonna get 9's, but got 10's mainly because I found them at a lower price.Last edited by Vitamin I; 08-27-2005 at 03:02 PM.

Is there a boot-sole size difference between the 28.0 and the 28.5, or is it just a different size liner?
I have 28.0s in a 325mm

The footboards under the liner are identical and are both labeled "27 27.5". And the insoles inside the liner are identical and are both labeled "270 275". But on the forefoot piece of the liner, one was labelled "270" and the other "275". My hands and eyes could NOT detect any difference in thickness of the liner padding or soles, and sole-to-sole they looked to be the same length, width, etc. But when I tried them on in the shell, the 27.0 felt more snug on my foot.
CONCLUSION: Either the 27.0 liner has slightly thicker padding or sole than the 27.5 liner, or maybe the 27.0 liner is merely sewn up with slightly less space within. There are no other differences between the 2 sizes. But the difference is so small anyway that your sock choice and/or custom insole choice would make a bigger difference than choosing beetween 27.0 and 27.5.
I just bought these 27.5's cheap, but I wish the 27.0 was available at that price, because I have narrow feet and it's gonna pack out. So I'm either gonna wear slightly thicker socks, or use thicker insoles (superfeet?), or insert homemade "risers" into the shell under my liner. After my research, I think adding a layer of mouse pad material would make my 27.5 much tighter than a 27.0, but I'll try it and see.Last edited by Vitamin I; 08-27-2005 at 10:56 PM.

yeah, I've got duck feet (wide toebox, narrow heel), and pretty flat feet at that, so I had to blow out and widen the boots just a bit, as well as having the underfoot lifter sanded down a bit by my bootfitter - now they fit great. Wondering if I should hop on this deal.
Can the chili pepper be peeled off - is it a sticker? Or would you have to sand it off? WTF is Salomon thinking with these things? Euro-gay.

anyone know if these x-waves are any lighter than the older ones? If they are, put me down for a pair of 28.5

Vitamin - box cleaned! Sorry I let it get all nasty.
Blurred - not sure. The liner is slightly different than it used to be, otherwise I think everything's the same. This year's model, however, has the hexagonal "spaceframe" honeycomb cutout that last year's Pro Model and Course had. Also, the buckles are now made of Ti. Also there are two different XWave 10 models now, and I guess they incorporated the Crossmax boot with it so all that is different is paint scheme.
there's a thread about it here , look for my post at the bottom of the page.Last edited by Jumper Bones; 08-30-2005 at 08:05 PM.

If not, surely it can be repaired.
2006 Xwave line has "fake" hexagonal holes. The "holes" don't go all the way through the hard shell, so there's no flexible clear plastic sheet barrier needed, because there's a thin hard layer there (i.e. the hexagons are just a few mm thinner than the rest of the shell). So it's heavier than real holes, it's stiffer there, but that part will surely be more durable than the Course/Pro Model line.
Anyway, Jumper is right. 2006 XWave should be lighter than 2005 due to hexagons and Ti buckles.Last edited by Vitamin I; 08-31-2005 at 12:05 PM.

PM me if you want the 2005 XWave 27.5 from me. New in box, except I had my feet in them in the store for 10 minutes, and in my house for another minute. Shipped for $240 paypal ($247 if credit card).
