Efficient kick n glide n schuss

This is my fourth try at AT boots for Rando Rally Recreation Races. As a youth raised on diagonal stride classic kick n glide, this version of the F1 is the best for providing a trotting gait, that lopping fox trot of forward momentum due to the flex bellows.....there's a reason why all the Euros ski this boot. This is the only boot I've tried that gives metatarsals flex that prevents numbing due to still sole.
I ditched the powerstrap for now, using a thick rubber band for instead for holding the liner tight above the ankle. The liners are heat moldable but not Intuition brand. The entry and exit from this boot is fast and clean unlike the Dynafit TLT 5's I tried to love.
Downhill performance is what you'd expect...they're not a 4 buckle boot.....but your skills have to compensate for lack of full boot control on the descents. Ideal for Rando or long tour days.
