Buckles look like a neat design. But otherwise relatively standard ski boot, whose usage/selection is almost exclusively determined by how well it fits...

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

Are they hugely different from other boots buckles these days, look a lot like the ones on my Head boots I bought a few years ago.

@ster, They look fairly standard to me, nothing about them that appears any different from most boots over the last 20 years.

If anything like their skis they will be rock solid and built to last. Note the big difference in last between the Race (91.5) and Piste (100) variants.

I'm presuming that another brand makes them?

You can look on SkiTalk where they've been pumped/discussed quite hard. Though you can never be quite sure there of what the commercial arrangement is re promotion of a brand editorially.

If there was any bias in the article I would expect the commentors to lay on as they dont really hold back on that site (unlike here of course).

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Which will be welcomed as I struggle to find boots that last longer than a couple of weeks.
Actually, I am struggling to identify the market for even narrower boots than already available, or indeed any gap in any market that these address

Going from 95mm to 93mm Nordica boots, the difference was just around the arch, the forefoot and heel feel the same.

You know it makes sense.

The last measurement is at the widest part of the foot so that’s strange

@BobinCH, without having thought too much about it, of course, that makes sense.

only had a brief look at this and spoken to a couple of athletes using the race product, my observations and their comments were the same, the liner is thick compared to other race boots. relying on the liner to hold the boot will always give a short lived result, when it packs down the shell can't hold the foot
