Yeah, softlights are pretty trashy. They get way to broken in way too quick.

I found rossi soft boots to be really heavy when I picked them up, which is sort of counterproductive to why you'd want a soft boot... And I've known people to absolutely destroy the shell of the first year's model. They may have toughened up the boot since then.

Boot is still pretty much the same quality wise. The 4 buckle soft boots by rossi are better, but still have their drawbacks. And your right about the weight thing, very heavy dead feeling boot.

Yer... I think all Rossi boots feel sort of dead, but it just works for their freeride lineup much the same way the old Pistols used to feel dead flex wise and ski so well. It's just smoother and more solid. But that doesn't really work out for what we'd use soft boots for. Dead and heavy + Park = not the best thing ever.

I wish you could still buy those old cheap plastic ski boots that weighed litteraly 5 ounces, but would shatter instead of release from the binding. Those were quality.

When you guys say your shattering them, how much do you guys weigh? Does that have an effect on them?

The boots you were shatter were a completely different topic, sorry for the confusion.

Just don't buy them man. They have terrible response and are too soft.
