so after skiing in flexons for a the last many years and now moving on to kryptons, i have to say that i'm addicted to an upright stance in my boots. i tried out a pair of nordica hot rods (the see-thru red ones) and although they fit my feet well, it just felt like i was constantly being tossed forwards. i know that kryptons go up to an angle of only 13 degrees if you take out all the shims in the cuff. are there any other (preferrably narrow boots) that also have upright stances?
why not just make the nordicas (or any other boot) more upright? If the boot fits your foot shape, just you dont like the stance/angle ....
Scarpa touring boots.
But compared to Flexon Boots, its like using a garbage bag for a condom.Quote:

Yup, already got some lasers too. They are a bit like a convenience store bag, not full on garbage bag. Dumped some hefty liners, flexon tongues, and footbeds and they're not entirely useless. Tried the tornado, but even in the smallest size I could jam my foot into, I was still swimming. Does the tornado pro fit any tighter?
As for the nordicas, being in london, I don't trust anyone not to f them up.
Prior to finding Flexons/Kryptons I had 4 pairs of Nordicas. Do the newer Nordica liners still pack out and feel loose like the old Nordica liners? I would be concerned about a great initial fit that doesn't last if this is still true.
nordica liners are still absolute doggy doo. i got some lange freeride liners popped into my hotrods.
