Boot Choice

So I have 2004 Salomon X-Wave 6s(flex 80, less cushioned) and 2005 Nordica Speedmachine 8s(flex 100, more cushioned). They're both pretty comfy, and I use a booster strap with either. I'm trying to decide which to use this year, seeing as I've had shin problems the last 2 years. Any opinions/ experiences?

you are asking which of YOUR OWN boots will be more comfortable for YOU???

can you fit the cushioned liners in the softer shell?

like i said they feel pretty much equally comfortable. I'm basically wondering if it would be worth it to trade good cushioning for a lower flex for the park

do you mean cushishing for your shins or for your footbed?

dude, here's a brilliant idea. Since you have both, ride one on saturday, ride the other on sunday, and FIND OUT which one you like better.

tap your toes a lot during the day, it strengthens your shin muscles
