I have had problems with my boots for a while they cut the circulation off and really hurt my feet, I had 1080 boots and they hurt my toes and then now I have rossi power 17 and they dont hurt as bad but they still cut the circulation off sometimes, I talked to a guy and he said I should go for lange cause there skinny and my feet are skinny to, so what would good freestyle boot to get

Whatever you do, find a decent bootfitter. Very rarely does a boot fit perfectly out of the box. If the store doesn't do a shell fit first, walk away; they haven't got a clue. The Masterfit-trained folks are pretty good. Here's a list in Colorado.

yeah poopshark man, find a boot fitter. Chances are you have different shaped feet than most people and you just need to customize your boots a little bit. I have had that problem too, with the circulation loss. My rossi softs are better on that so far, but I haven't worn them for more than a couple of hours yet.

now the old man sits until the days when time stood still, the hours always seem to fade, but the memeories never will. All the love that you gave me, the dreams in the night. Now I just want to thank you, while the day's still light.

BTW, if your losing circulation, you probably either have the top buckle too tight, or the upper of the boot is too small (check to see if you can move the ratchet out a bit). If the upper is too small, I would stay away from Lange.

What boot was giving you problems with the circulation? And how wide is your foot (forefoot and heel specifically).

And yes, find a good bootfitter, get a boot that is fairly comfy and a good fit and then make it perfect. You cannot expect a production, off the shelf, boot to fit everyone perfectly.
