I have a pair of the Krypts (stock liner) coming tomorrow. No local dealer so bought them from a place with return policy if they do not fit. Was at my local shop yesterday and they have a leftover pair of Head Raptors 120. Did not spend a lot of time in them, but they felt great with a terriffic flex - at least at 70 degree temps. I am replacing my Tecnica XT's and want to get into a boot with better geometry for me. The XT fit with the Dobie liner is perfect, but the lean is too much for my chicken shins. I find it difficult to flex the boot when my knee is so bent before I even contact with it. Have Booster straps too. So of the Kryps or Heads, which is more likely to give me a more upright stance, better upright contact with tongue and progressive flex. I am level 8, ski mostly hardpack in Maine.Thanks.

The Raptors are fairly upright compared to other boots....they are great boots BTW.

You need to stand straighter in your heads. Your knee should not be infront of your toes when you are standing in your boot

PhilT, good call. That will be part of my "test." Appreciate it. David
