Question:
I apologize if this has been discussed before. I am unable to find anything
in a search. I am looking for boot covers for Solomon skate boots,
pre-pilot, for my wife, size 40. If they don't exist, does anyone have any
experience in making some out of cycling or snowshoe booties?
Answer:
Most boot companies make a boot cover, but they call them "overboots".
I took a look at Solomon's website and I could only find their pilot
overboot. I'm guessing that the pilot overboot would probably work for
profil boots. If you bring your wife's boot to a ski shop, you could
try out the pilot overboot or maybe an overboot from another boot
manufacturer. If you're in luck, they might even have some profil
Solomon overboots left.
I'm not sure if this is a double post or not because the first one is
taking forever to show up.

Looking at the Solomon website, it seems like they make a single model
of boot cover that fits the pilot boots. I'm pretty sure that it would
also fit profil boots.
I'd recommend taking your wife's boot to a ski shop and trying out some
Solomon boot covers to see if they fit. If not, boot covers from
another boot manufacturer might also work. You might also be lucky and
the store might have some old pre-profil boot covers kicking around
