He went over with some US Team members to the PM last year and ordered the boots up from PG after the race. They arrived this past Nov. He obviously really likes them!! He flew out of the start line with them and ended up 6th. Lives in the SLC, UT area, young up & coming racer. MS -Those 444′s & WC’s are Jared Inouye’s.

Those Pierre Gignoux 444's (pictured above) are the best boots there are. Even lighter than the older 500's, they have many other advantages that Pierre told me about: 1. The weight is the big thing. 2. The form is narrower so they hold the foot better, especially with a thinner inner boot. 3. The narrow form and the narrower hardware make them more streamlined under the race suit, so the suits gets less ripped up at the inner ankle. 4. The 444 is STRONGER (30% stronger cuff in flexion). 5. The locking lever is more ergonomic to use. 6. It looks really cool, especially with the black tongue which is now also carbon fiber instead of the yellow, more fragile fiiberglass tongue.
