Cross countries skis require a different type of boot. These boots only attach to the ski at the toe allowing your heel to move off the ski as you move. On downhill skis your entire boot is attached to the ski. You can read more about the differences here http://skiing.about.com/od/beginning skiers/a/ccdownhill.htm
