Amazing! Super Responsive!

By Amanda Ranked #14 - Alpine Skiing February 11, 2008

Before these boots, I had Nordica Beast 10s. They were way too wide for me. I have narrow feet and these boots are amazing! I tried on over 15 different boots (at least 15 that I remember what they were), and these were the only ones that fit. They are super responsive and unlike the Nordicas, they do what my feet tell them to do. I am not an expert, and not quite advanced intermediate, but close to that, and I love these boots. I immediately saw and felt a difference in my skiing, even in my first run in these. My size is a 24, my feet measure a 7.5. I don't see a need for the 3D buckle on a boot this small. When I adjusted it to the third hole, it conflicted with the other buckle, and when I adjusted it to the middle hole, my foot was in pain. I adjusted it back, and my foot no longer hurt. (I only played with the adjustments with one foot to see if I wanted to do the other foot). The 3D buckle looks like a good idea for bigger feet. My dad just got the salomon Xwave 9, in a size 31, and it looks like the 3D buckle will work better on that one, but he hasn't adjusted it yet. Over all, this is an amazing boot and I skied better than I ever have, despite snow guns blowing snow constantly to the point where I couldn't see. Otherwise, I would have skied better. I have only used them once so far, and I plan to again the day after tomorrow. Hopefully they won't be blowing snow.
