Anyone have thoughts either way on shop guys advice?
Scarpa F1 has been out for years. There are roughly 3.2 billion pairs of them in use in Europe IME. I can’t think of any shop or experienced skier saying they break if you don’t loosen them. As an engineer I can’t think of any reason why this would be the case.
As a longtime F1 user and Skorpius II user for years, one of the reasons I like Boa (on lightweight AT boots anyway) is I can dial in just the right snugness that prevents heel lift on the uphill & just leave it that way all day.
Know of a pair of Fischer Ranger 107Ti 189s (new or used) for sale? PM me.
