"Can't wait for the snow to fly to try my new Apex Boots, this is actually my second pair. I got my first pair of Apex. Boots over 10 years ago, and it was life-changing as a member of the National Ski Patrol. I can be in my boots from 9 to 10 hours a day. These boots are so comfortable. They Keep my feet warm all day. I highly recommend these boots."
"All day comfort. Warm even on the coldest days. Great walk ability. Exceeds my performance needs. They may not be everyone, but I’ve been skiing since 1976 and it’s the best I’ve ever had."
"So far so good. Only got to use them a few times before season ended. Very comfortable and got good performance. Love the adjustability and confident I will have them set up perfectly next season."
"I haven't ski with with boots yet. . . Next season joy. . but I have tried them on and work with getting the adjustments to get the fit right with the binding. They are comfortable to wear, which was the prime reason for buying as I am starting to struggle with Ski boots comfort. very happy at the moment with these. We shall see if they perform on the slopes next season. . Fingers cross."
"When I walked after taking off the shells, it felt unbelievably comfortable — more comfortable than I had ever experienced before. At the same time, when actually skiing, they provided a solid and secure hold, with no issues even on icy slopes. Above all, using them in Japan gives me a real sense of exclusivity and pride."
"First pair lasted me 8 years with a little support from Apex, ordered another for the next 8. Thanks Apex"
"I am excited to have a boot that not only performs but is comfortable and keeps my feet warm in extreme conditions. The convertible, walking boot and cabriolet design. Make sure that the pressure points don't freeze my feet."
"My second pair. Won’t ski in any other boots again. Can ski anything on the hill with these. The decrease in performance is unnoticeable but the increase in comfort is staggeringly evident."
"I bought a pair of VS Antero 5 years ago replacing an earlier pair of Apex boots. They were the most comfortable boots for me as an adaptive instructor on and off my skis. I decided to replace them starting next season and purchased a new pair for next season."
"After years of ankle bone issues in hard shell boots, I decided to try the Antero VS Carbon boot. Easy purchase process, boots arrived quickly and just in time for a week of Spring skiing at Palisaides. I expected that I would have to give up performance in exchange for comfort, and that proved not to be correct. The boots were outstanding in performance in all conditions that I encountered from morning ice to late morning perfection to afternoon slush. I felt total control on both blues and blacks, on groomed and ungroomed. Stepping in and out of the outer shell is a breeze. And walking in the inner shall alone is super comfortable. These are as close to a perfect boot as I think it is possible to find."
