the boot search continues (beast, lange, solly course)
Went to Boulder saw Larry the boot guy and he gave me a short list to work with. Then went out and tried on the Salomon Course, Lange 120 Freeride, and the Nordica Beast.
the Salomon's weren't bad, nice and tight where they are supposed to be, little bit of slide in the mid-foot. Pretty good impression.
Lange's were uber tight, especially in the toe box, the cuff also pinched my calf, which didn't make me too happy. I was told this could be remidied with some fitting.
Nordica's were like slippers, damn they were super comfy, but it appears they run large and all the others were size 27 and around the same shell size. The shop didn't have a 26.5, which might have done it for me. I was really impressed how comfy they were, I did have to crank down on them a bit more to get a snug fit. I could see spending days on these pain free.
anyone want to drop their opinions on these boots go ahead, but right niow i am leaning toward the beasts.
More fucked up than a cricket in a hubcap
