Ok, so i was just remoniscing on a few years back, and my buddy had rear entry boots. he could put those babies on in a matter of seconds. Well, there has prolly already been a post on this, but i searched nad didn't see one soo.... Do you think that it is possible fer Rear Entry boots to come back. Like, Have a really sweet freestlye boot, but rear entry. Nordica needs to make the Beasts Rear Entry boots. tell me what u tihnk.

Well..every one I hear says rear entry make your sking suck ass. I heard that if you get buckle boots your skiing will improve by 10 folds. I don't know if that is true.. well one thing is that rear entry look really crappy. I see people on Scratch BC with Rear entry.. it just looks funny. Still have no idea what they do to your skiing

The market niche that was filled by rear-entry boots is being met by soft-boot technology today. It is a relatively low performance boot focused on skier comfort (the number one reason why beginners give up).

With today's skis, a higher performing boot (4 buckle mid-entry) is required to take advantage of their design. The rear entry was very soft in the back and would get you into trouble further if you were caught in the back seat. The closer fit of the 4-buckle responds better and more sensitively to user input. Modern plastics and liners have improved Lange's 30-year old race patent to the point that there's a boot to fit everybody... comfortably.

So - no.

The gran Sports are alright, but they are far from amazing. Very loose in the backseat.
