I went to the local dealer to buy some Hmk boots and i expected more then i did. I wanted some sledding boots cause i thought my snowboard boots are a little wide on the running boards. As i went down there to look at a size 13boot i realized that there just as wide as my snowboard boots. Yeah they may be a lot stronger on the bottom but why dont they make them with a smaller profile?
I was gonna buy some HMK boots but....

Try a KLIM Adrenaline ... slimmer design. They've been a great boot for me.
I have these Soloman boots and they are awesome. Super light, gore-tex, and super warm. In -40 weather my feet are toasty.

TB151 you should consider doing yourself and the rest of us a favor and keep your money in the sled industry or at least don't give it to companies like Salomon who would rather see snowmobiling die.
X2! I've had both and love my Klim's. I also have a big foot and the Adrenaline boot fits my foot better, than the HMK did. Both are a nice boot, I just personally like the Klim much better. Good luck......

nice boots, to bad you can't get them, maybe they take the boss seat company route
Do you know that for fact or are you just assuming that Salomon is a ski company so they must hate us?
The Klim Adrenaline would definitely be worth looking at. Sounds like the type of boot you want. The HMK's are a nice boot, but very bulky. A large part of this is due to the boot being rated to -50 deg. Probably a little excessive and will cause your feet to sweat like crazy during normal riding temps.
I sent HMK my pro boa's for warrenty in july and havent heard a thing back yet?????
Im gonna take a look at those Klim boots, they look decent.
I have been using hmk boots for the last 5 years.. last year i got the new proboa's le.. they are amazing.. way better than the klims that i tried for a couple days.. warm,dry, great support..
Broke one of the boa coilers last year (my fault).. called them up.. had two new ones and the tool to change them in 3 days.... great customer service IMO

.. great customer service IMOBeaufordt sorry to here that I am sponsered by HMK I have worn his stuff since he was a small company and I have had great great stuff from Kirk.. Give them a call or send a email to his address located on his web site hmkboots.com and I promise you will be taken care of. You can also talk to Lucas. I have been riding for about 24 years and I started in alaska when I was a kid and I have worn all sorts of boots and the HMK boots have been my best boots ever feet never get cold or wet. I am sorry to hear that they did not get back to you but just call Kirk is a very very fair guy and HMK will take care of you. Have any more problems PM or come find me am usally in the californina/nevada area under romper room.
Hmm? I was dealing with Lucas, Emailed him a couple days ago and still nothing?

HHHHMMMMMMMMMMMM well I am stumped. Well if you have not heard anything by thurs let me know and I will email them and let them know that I ran into someone on the snowest site that has been trying to get a hold of them. Sounds wierd because I know Kirk on a personal basis and he has always been a WAY stand up guy. The only thing I can suggest is to call and talk to them. Sorry to hear all the problems.
Give him a call. HMK are great people to deal with.
I agree with rockymking on the Klim Adrenaline...I have some they are great.
Looks pretty split at this point. I have had the HMK's for 4 years now and love them. They hold up great over the winter. I even wear them to my deer stand and they keep my toes nice and warm.
