yeah I had really stiff boots before and once I landed to frontflip and I tought my shins where about to brake cause they didn't felx at all stif boots sucks softer is better, you need a minimum of stiffness but not too stiff.

Flexons with the race tongue=best boot ever made for charging.
The issue is not the stiffness, its the way the boot flexes. If you jsut sackup and take a bit of ankle/shin pain youll find that you have alot more control over your skis, and can do things you couldn't before.
