 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi,
Just wondering if anyone had any suggestions for boots for me. Currently I have a pair of Tecnica Vento 80s, which are no longer suitable for my sort of skiing. They are a 29.5 and fit like a glove. I usually wear UK12 shoes. Any ideas on models with a last of 104mm+?
Wanting ideas so I know what to look for when I eventually travel to a couple of bootfitters.
Cheers,
Al

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Head Vector is a good one if they still do it.

Go see a good fitter and let them do their job and tell you what works for you, don't go in with a view of what you want.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

allybrown360, what's your sort of skiing, body weight and height also useful
there are not a lot of boots in stiffer flexes (i assume that is what you are looking for) in 104mm last, the live ft is one but even in the 120 flex it is pretty soft and not a great performance boot
difficult to say without seeing your foot, but there are a whole load of 100mm + lasts that can be stretched out to accommodate width of a foot, the most important part is to get the back of the foot solid and make the front wider as required, if you go out looking for something to fit the forefoot then the heel will probably be pretty sloppy
hope that helps
Badgerpig, the vector is a 101mm (the 103mm which is advertised is in a 27/27.5 as opposed to 26/26.5 that other manufacturers list their last sizes) but it stretches quite well

I have opted for a Solomon X Max and had them heated and stretched by a Pro fitter, PERFECT for me.
Size uk 7 and 104+mm!
Works for me...
