Poster: A snowHead

I have been very pleased with my Dobermann Aggressors, as has Mrs UANN. I don't think the offset foot angle is a marketing gimmick.
I understand that the current range don't offer an offset version.
This is very disappointing as I was going to buy a new pair next year.
Might have to be Atomics, or something.
Thoughts, opinions?

under a new name, I'm very pleased with mine too.
My guess is that you either need them or you don't. If you can learn to race at a high level in a conventional boot then there may not be much point in switching to an offset stance one. Maybe Nordica found that most of their current customers for these boots don't have to make all that much change in alignment, perhaps if they could have given it a few years they would have seen extra kids progress to a high level who would otherwise have given up.
There are still the Fischer boots too.

rjs, yeah, but, if there was an advantage to offsetting, one would assume it had been tested and resulted in a few hundredths off times. And if not, why were they trying to market in the first place. So, assuming there was an advantage, why drop the idea.
My problem of course is that I went from a 6 season pair of tecnicas that were a bit softer and had lost most precision, to a very close fitting boot. Was the percieved improvement from the offset or not? Who knows?
I didn't like the Fischers as much
comprex, or maybe offset the binding plates?

CEM, blithering idiots! Surely the business economics of ski boots are relatively well understood by now? Clearly not!
I may well have to do the internet thing.
