I forgot the most important part of your verification of ski material.

On my boots I have a special adjustment mechanism which allows me to adjust the angle of the cuff of my boot!

I have two screws one on the medial side and one on the lateral side.

Last year while on holiday one of the screws loosen. By the time I skied down to store for a scpecial screwdriver,,,the screw came off!

Spent 1 hour at shop trying to find a screw for this boot. Finally took off anchor section within boot and installed another compatible unit!

To avoid this get some "Lock Tight" or women's clear nail polish place a dab on screw threads and tigthen !

Very good post Pav

it amazes me every season the number of people who call up asking if we have a spare cant bolt or ankle rivet for their boots, there is (in most cases) a tool/allen key/torx wrench) supplied with the boot for exactly this purpose, well worth checking everything is tight before and after every trip, every time you flex the boot this bolt is flexing with you, it takes a while but it can and does work loose over time

BTW we do have lots of spares for many models if this happens!!
