These boots are killing me . I had them fit professionally but now that I been on them a little bit I cant ski a full day. I think it might be the flex is too stiff but Dalbello markets them as a freestyle/ all mtn boot but a 130 flex is heavy for anybody who's not throwing triples or just loves a super stiff boot.

What's my next move? Call dalbello see what they can do? Or try to get 100 flex tounges or what?

Thanks

In what way are they killing you? Do you have pressure points, hot spots, numb toes, etc?

Do you have a custom footbed? Without one you're not going to be in an efficient position in the boot which may make the flex feel overpowering.

Go back to the bootfitter and tell them what hurts while skiing and they should help you.

Stop skiing in the back seat.

It sounds like you were't "professionally" fitted if you were not fitted for a footbed and are also in the wrong flex. A foobed does more than simply make your foot feel better- it also positions your ankle & therefore legs and knees in the proper spot in the cuff/liner.

How old are you? How many years have you been skiing? How much do you weigh? What was your previous boot?
