I am thinking of buying these boots for in bounds only. I have retired my old boots and need a new pair. I tried on these at a shop the other day and loved them. I ski fischer rc4's in174. I am 5'9'' 225. i ski mostly cruisers with the occasional foray into the woods. will these boots drive my skis?

Well I guess it depends on what you've been skiing on inbounds in the past. They are light,warm and comfortable. If you are used to sking powerful boots that have 120+ stiffness I think you'd find these to be too soft for your liking. However, if you've been skiing on a intermediate type boot 90 to say 110 stiffness you'd probably like them. . They are great for bumps, woods and skiing pow. Not so great for high speed on stiffer skis, If you ski fast and are on a stiff ski you may need more power than this boot can provide, it can be done, but it is an AT boot. I am 5'10" and 175 and use the Typhoon for mkainly off Piste only, maily on piste I use Nordica Speedmachie 14's. Ps. I don't tour too much in these boots. Given your weight and since your skis are likely Fischer race skis you may need more power than this boot can provide. If they are close in stiffness to your current boot these would most likely be a good choice for you regardless of your weight and ski.
