FKS are gonna be more bombproof, Deadbolts are lighter (Tryrolia based binding). I had deadbolts on my Walls, worked well, sometimes got a bit annoying cause it was kinda easy to push down the release, I have Pivot 14s (same as FKS 140s) on my Afterbangs, absolutely love them

My friend has Agent 80s and he HATES them (but I'm pretty sure they don't fit his feet properly), they're pretty light, but also pretty stiff. If the boot fits (properly) wear it...

Does he get crazy shinbang on the lower part of his shin? I figured out how to fix that with a hairdryer. Ya if I move to full tilts which one would match the flex of the agent 80s? I like the flex

Assuming they fit, the #6 or #8 Flex will probably be as close as you can get - the agent 80s is probably about somewhere in the middle of those.

It's not the shin bang that's his biggest problem (although he does get that pretty bad) it's that his toes don't fit properly into the toe box so he gets crazy blisters (like 6th toe blisters). He bought them at a chain ski shop, they just wanted to sell him boots quick, didn't really size him up properly.

That's my prob too. I have a super narrow heel through instep so I need a narrow boot but I have this foot thing a lot of people have where my metatarsal for my pinky toe is spaced farther away from my other toes. Guess it's some genetic thing. So I have to always get my boots blown out by my pinky toe.
