Using Lightweight boots for everything?
Griogair
:
So, my boots are dead. (Scabby old Salomon alpine boots from like 9 years ago)
I'm off to buy new boots in the sales...but I figured.
I want boots for backcountry, maybe touring. SO why buy alpine boots.
My worry is that if I went looking for something mega light along the lines of these:

or
http://http://www.garmontusa.com/111102211.html
Would they be too pussy and soft for all the day to day piste stuff?
I was thinking more along the lines of:
http://http://www.blackdiamondequipment.com/en-us/shop/ski/boots/factor-ski-boot
would be more flexible.
I guess I'm looking for suggestions as to what folks are using to cover all bases if they want one boot to rule them all.
If the superlight ski/running guys would do the job, why would I lug heavy guys about.
Open to suggestions & ridicule.
