“Not the Best Resort Boot.”

“I really wanted to like these boots. They were comfortable right out of the box, initially seemed like o.k. construction (although not quite the quality I expected) and I was excited to try them out. Once getting to the resort, however, my impression of the boots deteriorated rapidly. I felt I had no control over my skis on anything that required control, and the boots began to over-flex forward right away, causing an annoying and disconcerting "popping" sound if I leaned forward too far. I sent the first pair back, and had another pair shipped to me, skied them a couple of times and although the control issues were still there, I spent the money to have them properly fitted, including some pricey insoles hoping it might make them work. In the end, this pair started over-flexing too so I just cut my losses and sent them back. These boots are very lightweight and if I could afford two separate set-ups for backcountry and resort skiing, I might still consider these for the backcountry, but they just aren't stiff enough for resort skiing for me. I'm a 230# relatively aggressive skier, and they just didn't seem to cut it. I ended-up going with a pair of Lange Super Blasters near the end of the season which are more of a downhill boot with the advantage of the interchangeable ski/walk mode and are far superior if resort skiing makes-up a large part of your season.”
