The fit of the Hoji Free is, from what I understand about the process, a completely different starting point from the current hoji. Maybe it ends up similar or more snug. I know there's been a lot of fine-tuning of the boot that's been passed around this year.
I do think Dynafit has a fit philosophy that mostly shows up across the boot. Tighter heel, lower instep, bigger forefoot. I've liked the fit of all the dynafit boots I've tried in the last few years. The fit of the Zero G is plenty good though, and is too good of a boot not to use.
RE: What I say about TLT8 BSL, fit and sizing. That's not relevant anymore. Boots are getting a new mold.
I supose if Dynafit only makes a touring binding anymore then it makes sense to Dynafit they don't need to make a freeride boot fit anything but their touring binding but if they make a freeride boot that doesn't fit freeride type bindings, doesn't fit a skiers existing quiver of skis and crampons, doesn't fit any frame binding, how many people bought a Technica or Atomic product instead ?
And why pay a freeride type skier with huge skiing cred & huge design cred just to put his name on the product, not listen to him and then bring out the boot with a real toe 1 year later ?
maybe the Speedknows ( at least on this app ) was a stupid fucking idea ?
I believe it was the previous designer who designed the tighter heel, lower instep, bigger forefoot which really worked for me on Mercury & Vulcan but has that design really carried over ?
