Is anyone riding these? What are your thoughts? I have the HotRods from about 7 years ago and they have served me quite well. Of course I'm going to get my boots fitted, but I'm just seeing others opinion on these. I'm 5'10 135.

If they fit go for them, they seem to drive skis pretty well, my buddie skis them and loves them, but the is pretty burly in the heel and ankle.

I have a large calf but a small heel. I will try them first of course. Can I expect another 7 years out of them?

If they fit right sure, if they don't fit right you'll be looking for something different sooner than that.

Theyre an awesome boot if youre pushing really hard on the hill. If youre not skiing very aggressively then consider looking into a nordica R series boot. They have all the same features but are a bit wider in the toe box and have a softer flex. Just go to a boot fitter and figure out what works for you.

^I wouldn't be recommending wider boots just because someone may not ski as hard.

Definitely do not get a wider boot in order to find a less aggressive boot. Width has nothing to do with being aggressive or not aggressive. It just means you have a wide foot. Take the time to find the boot that matches your foot shape and flex needs.

If you find something that works well for your foot, then it makes sense to ask people if they have had any quality problems or other issues with the boot that you should be aware of before pulling the trigger.
