Anyone in the industry have access to this brand? I work at a shop but we don’t sell Roxa and I can’t seem to find a discount anywhere. +K for good answers

Send them an email. I've always had luck just emailing a brand for a discount, they usually just want credentials like a paystub. Not always the full pro deal but it's usually something.

I’ve had a 3 piece from every major player (Dalbello and FT pretty much) and the R3 feels a lot like the FT Soul Shell (TW Pro, Seth Pro, First Chair) with a bit of a longer toe box. The Roxas definitely do run a little long, I think @cydwhit and @Twig mentioned this in their reviews. It’s damn close to a 130 flex and it tours as well as any other 3 piece boot, taking the tongue out is annoying but I don’t tour that much anyway.

Yup, I went pretty deep on both my reviews of the R3 on Blister. Feel free to hit me with any questions I didn't address in those reviews. It's still my inbounds boot, probably the longest I've ever stuck with the same boot and been really happy with it.

Not the greatest touring boot at all, but if you're going to ski the Middle Teton in an inbounds boot, it's the one I'd recommend to do it in. (My buddy did this, he had a rough day 'cause the snow was bad, not because of the boot.)

I’ve toured a couple times in mine and it works just fine, the tongue is an extra fiddle factor that’s annoying but again, I don’t tour a whole lot anyway. It’s also really light, like Scarpa Maestrale RS light. Would recommend for someone who knows the FT Soul Shell fits their foot, and wants a pin boot. Or wait for @tomPietrowski to drop the Project X boot!!!

Great news, just gotta find a place to try them. The Cochise my fitter put me in is not working out, and I really miss the 3 piece flex.

I wish he would! I can't hold my breath any longer.

As soon as it drops I’m getting rid of all my other boots ❤️ And yeah man, Roxa isn’t super easy to find but if they fit they’re great boots!
