if it matters, 170 lbs, 6 ft, feet prob stopped growing
i currently ride tecnica race 110's and they're getting a bit small but im gonna squeeze into them for racing this year. that being said they hurt like a bitch when im doing anything other than racing, like riding in trees especially or crud and shit so i need a new freeride boot to hit up on those off days
my problem:
most good boots have a 98mm last...my feet are pretty wide. the tecnicas have a 98mm last and they're totally comfy until im riding super hard in them and doing lots of turns and slamming my feet into the sides of the boots but for a 98mm last they're super manageable. now im not sure if shell work can get a 98mm to be okay for me in trees and shit or if i actually need a wider boot
my next problem:
okay, 100-105 mm last, wider boot, cool...wrong. most boots i've been looking at with a wider last are soft and poopy, like 100 flex. i want something that's like 120 or 130, my 110's even feel soft at times even with boosters...basically i shred so unbelievably amazingly hard that i need something absolutely awesome to compliment my awesomeness...but seriously, i want something stiff
so if i were to go with a 98mm boot i'd try out:
full tilt seth pro
krypton pro
sally ghost
(i figure one of those will fit pretty well, 3 very different boots and companies so hopefully one works for me)
if i were to get something wider, i'd get:
ummm...yeah, this is why i made a thread
so, wider boots with around 120 flex, the wider boots i know of are rossi but i've never liked those
im not sure if the tolerability of the tecnicas is enough to convince me to stop being a puss puss and just go for 98mm boots or if i should try to find something wider
