Pros: Good stiff boot for aggressive skiers
Cons: PAIN, PAIN, Way too narrow
I bought theseto replace an old pair of Nordicas and they were great in the shop, I have been skiing for abot 30 years and know what I like in boots. I have normal width feet these boots have a 98mm last!
The shop was a warehouse so it was cold and the boots were nice and stiff, I had them on for an hour or so with no problems.
I took then racing in Austria and within 2 hours the pain started, by lunch it was unbearable and I had to take them off. no amount of tinkering with the buckles could fix the problem.
I tried the boots again on my second day and the same again!!!
I rented a pair of Pheonix Dragon 100 boots for the remainder of my holiday, which were too loose but not painfull!
I still have tingling toes 2 months later.
I am not blaming the bootfitter as they were fine in the shop but this was unbearable.
I now have Nordica Speedmachine 130's which fit me better.
If you have VERY narrow feet these boots may be ok but be very carefull.
Price paid was UK pounds (approx $315 US)
just curious, where did you feel the most pain?
Apparently there is a blood vessel that runs down the outside of your foot that can get trapped by ill fitting boots.
I think if you have very narrow feet they will be good boots but your feet will have to be so narrow for these to be comfotable
I cant wait to use my new boots in anger :)
