NO!!!

THE BEST BOOT IS THE ONE THAT FITS YOU PROPERLY!!! HOW MANY FUCKING TIMES DO WE NEED TO GO OVER THIS?

contrary to popular belief, a good bootfitter can turn every boot into a freeride specific boot

Indeed, but I slaved for hours making a sticky about this topic, and still no one seems to want to read it.

hahaha it gets tiresome trying to explain it. its really simple yet people don't get it.

thread creator. please just seek out a competant boot fitter. all that matters is it fits your foot. not how steezy or how much it feels like the shoes you cut grass in.


https://www.newschoolers.com/web/forums/readthread/thread_id/311248/

start out with checking out this thread. i couldn't find his original post with myself and nomensteven and a few others commenting on what lyndon, or l.fergusen at the time, said. but this will be a starting place

good luck finding that perfect boot

And for one thing, all those boots are pretty different. You have different fits (head to lange to dalbello), different volumes, and WAY different flexes.

You have flexes ranging from 80-120(Lange FR 80 and FR 120) all the way to 110(Head mojo heatfit), and even as far as 150(Krypton).

There is no such thing as a best boot. There is no such thing as an "awesome park boot". The best boot is the boot that fits your foot the best.

I'm really getting tired and frustrated with this topic. Im just going to stop helping and let all those retards buy SPK's because they are soooooo sick and let them get massive shin bang and cold feet because the fit is off.

Yeah, I had the previous threads deleted as they didnt haev enough info/pictures to become an official sticky, and it was pointless if it wasnt a sticky because it would have faded away.

And yes, I was L.Ferguson at the time, but I am now lyndon. Pretty sick that you caught that.

Its been good to have so much feedback/help with that thread, and I would like to thank all those who put their advice into it (nomensteven, yourself, pipemunky, joshbryant, *Sorry if I forgot anyone!)

So it wasnt a solo effort is what I'm trying to say.

To the thread maker, if you need any more assistance, shoot me a PM and ill try to get you on the right path.

Effective, but dont forget the mods are lazy. I hear they are too busy because they have parties with strippers and alcohol in the Mod Forums. Sometimes, they drink the alcohol, and the strippers dont have clothes on! It may just be a rumour though....

not to mention that comparing those flexes is pointless because every company uses different methods of testing so a 120 in one manufacturer maybe be a 90 in another.

right. Many companies have a different flex index. A head 80 is equal to a salomon 95.
