Why would you want a race boot as a freestyle boot? If you are thinking that they will be like Flexons, they won't be. They are a regular two piece race boot and are probably super stiff.
...probably make a good race boot though.

My intentions were to allow people to see information on the specific boot he was talking about so that they could give a better informed decesion. I wasn't trying to give up an ebay listing, I have no clue if that is even where he is thinking of buying from.

thanks for your opinions.
it's very difficult to find some real freestyle stuff in my country. so, i'm searching for the best i can find here.
i put them on once and was surprised. they're not so tight as real race boots and very comfortable.
i keep thinking...

If they fit your foot they'll be fine, people don't need freestyle specific boots, even though they think they do.

But if you're not racing, why subject yourself to the hardship of an old racing boot? He could be warmer and more comfortable even without a freestyle boot.

A valid point indeed, I was just saying that the most important thing is fit, and not what the manufacture says he boot is intended for.
