Plastic is moldable.
Ski boots are made of plastic.
Therefore, ski boots are moldable.
Pretty simple logic, but it's sure taken the ad wizards long enough to come up with that one. Fischer claims their new plastic is neither polyethylene nor polyurethane, which is what every other plastic ski boot is made of. According to Western Fischer rep Chris Smith, the new plastic "has some weird name in German that we can't pronounce or spell, so we just call in Vaccu-Plast." The process is simple but involves some specialty equipment that has apparently been 6 years in the making, alongside the development of the new plastic.
We got a fresh pair of 130's molded last night. We'll let you know how they ski, and go more into detail about the molding process and fit, after a day or two on snow.
