			<description><![CDATA[ Greetings to all,<br>I have had my semi race skates for several months now. After a month of waffling between the Alpha and Semi race I went for the Semi race. The frame is a lot longer then my Tecnica skates. The Tecnicas were so comfy, but too much padding made them feel like a big easy boy sofa going down the trail. No road feel! The Semis took two trips to the oven to get that fits like a glove feel. So fast, stable and nice! <br>The dominatrix red is rough on the eyes!<br><br>I have... ]]></description>

You just make a mould of the foot and then build the boot around it. But it is a lot more complicated than that. A speed boot only has 3-5mm of padding and skaters want the boots to be tight. So once we make the skaters¡¯ foot mould, we need to carefully sand off some of the fleshy parts of the foot to... ]]></description>
