I have been skiing the T1 for 10 years. I believe a stiffer flex boot like the BD Custom, Push or T-Race may improve performance, enabling me to keep a higher stance creating less stress on knees over a day of bumps, trees and steeps. Any ideas on my theory or on which of these three boots may be the best. I will use this boot mostly in bounds, but will use it for some late spring off-piste as well.

Well, the BD Push is similar to the T1 in flex. So the stiffer boots would be the TRace and the Custom. I would personally go with the BD Custom since it has the Boa lace system in the liner and the BD Custom has a tour mode unlike the T-Race.-------I've heard of issues with the BD Custom (and BD boots in general), like rivets coming out, and the Boa tightening wheel becoming damaged and rendering the liner unusable. Buying any boot in it's first year of production is a gamble...I'd go with the tried and true T-Race.---------The Custom is a little stiffer than the T-race and the Push is a little stiffer than the T-1. Try them all on and buy whatever fits best.
