the line boot, did that come with standard ski toe and heel? or was it hardshell snowboard boot pieces?

 

[CTD]

the original, skiboard transfers were built as dolomite boots, and had skiboard lugs that wouldnt fit ski bindings. they made a second version (this boot) that was a ski boot.

I think the pivot points on the cuffs are to high up to be inlin with the dynamics of the lower leg.

Take a look at the cuffs on Flexons, Fulltilts, Dalbellos, Scarpa..

I think FullTilts with the same lean/flex mechanism as Aplid uses, would be a winner!

he really get his panties in a bunch, he just asked for back up as to the kids statement. then he was explaining the newest feature and emphasized the range of the feature by saying "way too fucking far foward". seems like a fairly calm statement to me

 

[mmallender.]

youre about two years too late, nice try though

 

[ContaminatedBeef]

haha, contributing to 2 year old internet beef for the win

 

[Macker]

those look so comfy

 

[Pipe_Munky]

I agree.

The pivot points are just too high. It looks way too much like a hardplate snowboard boot to be effective for skiing. With that amount of forward lean on it, I feel bad for peoples' knees
