Size 44/45 (US Men's 11) - 1940s/50s Norwegian Men's Ski Boots - Beautifully Restored!Just acquired in Norway from original owner! Beautifully restored by professional shoe repair in the US. These boots are warm and comfortable will be great for display or as part of a vintage ski kit. I estimate that they are European size 44 45, approx US men's 11. They are a bit tight on me and I'm a 47 48. NOTE: if you decide to use these to ski, you will need to acquire "cable type" bindings, sometimes referred to as "Kandahar" bindings. Normal 3

Distance between bottom screw holes: approx 30mm

Skifabrikk staff even have proof in the form of trophies

they had a tendency to cup and warp

Hailing from the 1960s and just brought back to USA this spring

Gresvig got access to the Ullevoldsæter/Østbye patent after Peter Østbye had to surrender his ownership (including the Splitkein plant) as punishment for being a Nazi sympathizer during the Second World War

The early 70s was the end of the road for wood skis

The Kilpa 5 was a popular model that combined performance with stability

I thought so - over 4 hours

Or speed skate
