I am looking at getting some new boots. I was thinking either the T-Race (i would have to get the last gen ones with no walk mode), BD Custom, or the garmont Ener-G. I know that the custom is probably the stiffest, but I am only familiar with scarpa boot, both the red t-2x on many binders and TX-Pro on NTN. My current setup is the t-2s with Icelantic Shamans and hammerheads, and also karhu jaks with 7tm. Thanks!

I moved from the Scarpas to the BD Custom this season. I have Hammerhead bindings set on 180 BD Verdicts. The BD's are definitely a stiffer boot so depending on your riding style, it will take some getting used to. However, I've noticed that they have 'broken in' over the season and seem to have more forward flex than when I first pulled them out of the box. They have a narrower heel than the Scarpa. My BD's have about a half size difference in fit so I ended up moving up a full size (my Scarpa's are 29 and BD's are 30's). I've read other reviews about the footbeds breaking down but I have not experienced that problem. The forward adjustment capability allows for a truly custom ride. I debated over these and the BD Push for a few weeks and finally pulled the trigger and am glad I did.
