Oh, BD....

If I had a dime for every walk mode that's broken on one of these things I'd be wealthy. They are easy to replace and easy to find, but it might be good to be proactive and track on down to keep in your repair kit before you find yourself on top of Capitol Peak in CO looking down the Landry Line contemplating skiing it in walk mode.

Love the Boa though, that thing is sweeeeet!

Hey, although a little late in commenting...I got one question regarding the reported broken ski/walk mode. You said the thing is easy to repair/get. Can you tell me a little bit more about that, as I broke mine and have no warranty on the boot anymore. Can I repair that myself or do I have to send it to BD?

So it is too early to buy these freeskiing type tele boots. Gotta wait a couple seasons to see Quality?.

That would be quite the predicament since the Landry Line is on Pyramid Peak! :-P
