I'm drooling over the new Descendant shell. Its got the 3-piece design, comes in a 4, 6, and 8 flex,but a wider last to fit my wide foot. No more shinbang in a pair of salomons.

Hope you have read my full review on them :)

They are a really sick boot though and will be a huge deal for those suffering in a boot too narrow right now.

Dont nor be worries to go to the higher stiffness tounges though, the 8 is only like a 110, so I expect most people to be in the 8 or 6. They do come slightly softer then the equivalent tounge on the soul or classic sI make sure you try the flex to make sure you get what suits.

If you have any questions about the boots anyone let me know.

Yeah the tounges are interchangeable and there will be a 10 flex tounge. They will be released around September time possibly earlier at some larger shops.

Awesome! I'm definitely buying a 6 flex and 10 flex tounge, I finally found a boot to do it all!

Got my Descendant 8's back in feb, they're great, had first chairs before (99mm last) which did cause me a few problems, but with the wider shell haven't had any problems as of yet, highly recommend them.

Make sure you get fitted for them still, just because they have a wider last doesnt mean they'll fit ya.
