Good boot, I've had minor issues with it, but overall pretty happy with it. Liners pack out pretty fast, and I have to tighten the buckles so tight that my feet go numb on longer descents and climbs. I'll be switching to a new boot soon enough. Switched out the footbeds for superfeet el cheapos and it made a big difference, heel was cupped way better. That's my piss poor review of this old ass boot. Shell has been durable.
Ratings:Overall
Great product and I definitely reccomend it for friends and any one else.
No complaints at all.
Performance
Great performance. I had never had a really nice ski boot before and this was just a whole new experience to me. Really nice.
Design
The shin and back of the liner is lined with faux fur and is reallly comfortable. It looks pimpin too. People on the bus once looked at them and was like holy shit is that fur liners?! PIIIMP! haha
Value
They were a pretty good deal for no discount, $399 for the boot and the guy at the shop knew my dad and gave em to me for $375 i think. I wouldn't call it a steal though, especially when i had to pay for them myself.
Fit
This boot fits perfect, but that doesn't mean it will fit everybody. The boot is made for a wider foot so if you just want a comfortable wide fit, this would be a good choice. In the shop they felt a bit tight but they suggested that I try on my dad's (he has the nordica beast in the same size i was recommended for, and see how it feels in a boot that has been packed out a bit). After I did that I went back to the shop and paid, cause my dad's were perfect. The beast and supercharger's all have the same shell.
Characteristics
Two options for flex on this boot allows for some adjustments if you think it is too hard to flex or too soft. Flex options are 70 and 80, by tool so it is locked in that flex. I wear mine at 70 because I only weigh around 120 and my last pair of boots were really soft (like 40) and 80 would be pushing it towars a race boot said the guy at the shop. I love the flex and will probably adjust them for next year.
Durability
Pretty good, nothing to complain about as I near the end of the season. Few scratches from crossing up but nothing major or out of the ordinary. Have packed out a little but thats a good thing to me because they were snug in the beginning of the season.
