So heres my question: im moving to utah in 6 weeks and i am wondering if i should invest in a pair of freeride boots. as of now i have a pair of world cup race boots that fir prefectly for racing, but im thinkign i may want a booot that comes up a little lower on the calf for freeride. what doo you think?
 
If they fit comfortably enough for a whole day's skiing and the flex is what you want then there is no need to buy anything new.

The hardest charging skier I ever knew was a tuner in my shop in Whistler - he skied Nordica WC 150s as his everyday freeride boot. If it works, stick with it.
 
probably 6-7 years ago i bought a pair of ultra stiff high end salomon racing boots, for high school racing obviously. they fit too tightly like a race boot should and hurt my feet really badly. i put up with it until the end of last year when i finally bought some head mojo's and my feet love me for it. i finally decided to buy new ones last year when i got a powder day at aspen highlands and it was an unbelievable day except my feet made me have to quit early.

if your boots fit and don't hurt, i would probably stay with them though.
 
might as well see if your current boots work for you before you drop a lot of money on a new pair that you may or may not like more. Plus, boots are cheap in the spring.
