Corey_O132Does anyone feel that 4 buckles restrict their movement? I learned to ski & ride park completely in a full tilt & tried a day or two on a Dabello Il Moro and even those felt funky. Everytime I've clipped into a ski in a four buckle boot it felt so foreign. Like limited flex and control. However, maybe it's just me, or was the boot stiffness. I just felt so upright, with minumal forward lean. Not so much that the boot didn't fit my foot, but the flex didn't feel good & forward lean felt non existant.
Every boot is different, but I've tested some Debello 4 piece boots & Head raptors. I havn't liked anything I've tried so far.
This summer I picked up some Dabello Lupos 120 (3 piece boot) and love they way they fit/feel. I kind of want to add a little bit more forward lean, but otherwise I think they're going to work great.
isaacwrongI've always felt that 4 buckle boots lock my heel back into the pocket alot better than 3 buckle. Clamping down the middle buckle always left me with heel lift. Probs because low instep. The overlap on the shell with the typical two piece boot construction and 4 buckles just feels so much more secure imo
VishnuvishnuFor park, jumps more mobility would you prefer less stiff boots?
