AK Skier from Queenstown 14/7/2014

These boots are the PERFECT solution for the fast growing young skiier! This is the second pair I have purchased for my daughter. Got two years out of the first pair and was able to sell them at our local ski swap for only $20 less than I paid for them. They are great boots and infinitely adjustable for both foot length and calf height. And they really are a well made and comfortable boot even for intermediate to advanced skiers who require a fair amount of stiffness. I have recommended these boots to tons of people without any reservation.


Ski Dad from Otago  18/7/2014

This is my third pair. Unfortunately, my son's feet are growing faster than his older sister, and they are both in the same size boot. So, we needed a second pair. This was a no-brainier purchase. I love these boots, and the kids love them. No worries about feet growing mid season, or even from one season to the next. I thought they might be cheap, but these boots are solid and quality. I definitely recommend.

Many thanks for the super fast service, and the great price. These are the third pair of Roces Idea adjustable boots that I have bought for my kids and they are just fantastic. My kids have worn them ever since they were small and they really do last through all the growth spurts, and still look great. A very hard wearing boot indeed!!

When I first heard about these boots I was concerned about the retention of foot without pressure points and the quality of the liner and foot bed. But I was really impressed with the anatomical design of shell throughout size adjustments and the quality and durability of the buckles. The boot design allows for a quality fit and closure without distortion. I would recommend these boots; Roces are genuine alternative and not a gimmick . You do not have to purchase boots oversize anymore to allow for growing feet. Ease of size adjustment and putting on a real bonus; on top of boots finally lasting for x3 times.

Great boot, so far the best child's boot I have seen (I am a ski instructor). Without any directions my son (3) has completely natural stance in them since the day one. Shell is soft enough for him to bend his ankles. The way to go with the children's boots.

Paul from Blenheim  14/11/2015

My 7 year old improved heaps this season. It was his first year with brand new boots and with boots that fitted him perfectly. Don't waste your time with second hand boots or doing the “they will grow into them” thing. Just get these and give the kids the best opportunity to ski well.

My daughter loves these boots. They are comfortable and keep her feet warm. She did not complain once in 6 days of skiing about these new boots being uncomfortable. She is an intermediate skier and her control of her skis in these boots were very good. And to top it off, she still has 3 sizes to go before she grow out of them! Just buy them!


Chooi-Lee from Wellington 15/11/2015

The fact that it's 6 sizes in one and there is no doubt that we will save on rental costs, even if we only ski 2 weeks of the year. They are also very comfortable and cozy even though our daughter is at the smaller setting on her boots. She also loves the colour and we don't have to adjust her bindings on her skis until she's into adult sizings!

I'd tell other parents these boots are worth it especially if they have more than 1 child as the boots can be passed on to younger siblings once the older child outgrows the size. Although given the adjustable sizing we may run the risk of the boots wearing out first!!


Skiing Mama from Auckland 26/7/2014
Boot that grows with kid... what an idea. Kids grow so fast you can't wear same boot two seasons running. This will definitely outlast my kid. Entry and exit is easy, contrary to my thoughts of it might not being comfortable due to adjusting inner liner, I found no wetness or complaint from my kid wearing this for over 8 hours. Yes, 8 hours of wear by 7 year old and no complaint!

Ski Racer from Whakapapa 1/8/2014
I purchased Wedgease ski tips and Hookease from Idea Gear and I am very impressed. The products arrived quickly and are great quality. Our first outing on the mountain with our daughter was an absolute success, she very nervous at first, but after a couple of runs with the Hookease she wanted to ski all day! Fantastic! Highly recommended.

Mumof2girls from Christchurch 22/7/2014

We purchased these boots for our daughters, and we are beyond pleased with them. The girls like how pretty they are, and we love that they can be sized! Usually you have to predict at the beginning of the season what size your kids' feet are going to be by the end of the season. This takes all of the guesswork out of boot buying! Plus, the boots are always sized perfectly to their feet rather than being too big at the beginning of the season - a huge plus for beginner skiers who need all the help they can get with their ski performance. The boots are really easy to adjust so you can continuously adjust them throughout the season as their feet grow without any trouble. I highly recommend these!


Anad from Auckland 16/11/2015

The boots are amazing, it worked well for my son and worth every cent. I really liked the adjustable feature brings in cost efficiency, I already moved it one size up as my son feet grew during season and I am sure I have got a couple of more years of use. If you are thinking of buying these boots, go for it, the best thing you can do for your pocket and children's smiles . A very economical and useful ski boot. I recommend this to every parent not to waste their money on standard boots year on year. Roces adjustable is the answer to growing children's feet.


KiwiSkiier from Auckland 6/2/2015

Very happy with the 2 pairs of boots we brought for our twins. We ski at Snowplanet during the summer as well as skiing at the mountain in the winter so these boots are perfect for us. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Great trade! Very happy with ski tips, super quick delivery and good communication! Thank you :)


Tomas from Gisborne 16/11/2015

I really like the ability to change the size, year after year. Much better than renting season rentals. I would tell other parents these boots are worth it! No worries about finding a new pair or rent a new pair every season.

I love that the boots are adjustable, good quality, easy for children to put on themselves. I would tell other parents, Go for it ! In fact I have recommended them to our school ski team.
