Possibly the worst boot ever designed or made IMO.

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

What makes them so bad?

matricks, I was with a boot fitter yesterday who was wearing them, he really liked them. Points that he found great: amazing range of movement, very light and non-removable sole. He didn't like the fwd lean but that's a matter of opinion. And if they fit.
AT only.

Already heard first hand of someone who has broken a Marker FT12, right in front of the pivot point - normal stride, steepish skin track. I stood by the construction on here a few months ago after some people called them flimsy, I didn't think they look any worse than some other AT bindings. You should just get the Barons and lift more weights at the gym...

clarky999, I still don't think they look "worse" than any of the original Titinals. Time will tell.

matricks, Poor fit and shape, terrible plastic quality, buckles collapse the boot over the instep and forefoot.
On the plus side they are light and fairly stiff, but I think they have been made by Aldi, rather than BD, so again, IMO a pile of shite.
That said, I have 4 pairs here still, given to us by the nice people at BD, 26 27 and 28, met me know if you want a pair, will send them to you.

Hmm,
Not a raving review then... and ive read somewhere else about the front buckles collapsing the boot over the instep, but other reviews indicate my foot shape may be suitable... So...That said if the nice people at BD gave you a few pairs - would you mind awfully giving me the 28s ... its for a good cause!

FAQ
This is the clincher - unless i look at the Markers either Baron or the New 12/10s... (any thoughts on the latter - as robust as the duke/baron?)
oddly this isnt every time just when the tweaking hasnt got it right, very much suspect new liners and another boot fitting session will cure but ... the quardrants have my interest.
