New RVL8 member and am anxious to get two new pairs delivered mid next week. Used the pieces of junk Minimax's for about 15 years now and decided to upgrade and stop dealing with the pains of a hard boot.
Hopefully I am not sounding like a noob moron by asking this question but.......
I've been going nuts with my first pair of soft boot purchase. I went to 7 different stores and cant seem to decide which ones to go with As of now the most comfortable was K2 Thraxis and Rome Infernos. And all of the store had minimal amount of boots in stock and only 2 that were my size 9.The only issue I see is that they are double Boa and the side Boa would be in the way of the Saavi wings.
Anyone ever cut into the wings? Have any pics? I am getting them brand spanking new and would hate to cut into them unless it works and doesn't affect what the wings are supposed to do.
I was told to buy the most comfortable stiff (at least a 6 flex) boots I could get into and being here in NYC there isn't much choice heading into the last few weeks of the season.
Am considering just using rental boots for the rest of the season and then I can try more brands on when they restock for the next season.
I just ordered a pair of Nitro Select TLS from backcountry to try. I can always send them back if they aren't to my liking. ( which I did after 30 minutes and finding they were just too narrow for me)
And Greco is THE MAN! He answered many of my questions via email, phone, and online chat. I definitely will be sending more business his direction!
Thanks in advance to the vets on this board who might have some ideas.
