    new lowa AT boot

    .. looks super-rad. Friend martino participated in design and testing, and reports innovative plastic and a no-tongue construction to spare weight (which I am not aware of yet, but should be very low). It won the design award at last ISPO in munich

    I am tempted by the color alone.

    ... I am sure they asked dynafit for them, but apparently dynafit is reducing the number of licenses instead of enlarging it .....

    Garmont and Scarpa have exclusive licensing w/Dynafit for a few more years, AFAIK. Then... who knows?

    well, it's usually the shape of our feet which dictates what are the best boots for us..... a wider range of choice is a very good thing

    Damn, I gotta get that Lasik surgery or sumpin.

    I read the title as referring to an "Iowa AT boot", and I couldn't figure out how folks were so psyched about skiing Iowa.

    Sometimes I'm even dumber than me.

    Those look pretty good. Of the dozen or so people I know with strukturas, I'm the only one that has had fit issues, and only after breaking both my ankles......these should be pretty popular if they work well.

    Lowa makes great boots, they're super comfy and ski pretty well. Pity about the lack of dynafit fittings, but I'd be psyched to have a pair for inbounds/outabounds stuff
    For sure, you have to be lost to find a place that can't be found, elseways everyone would know where it was

    how stiff are the boots going to be?more stiff than the struktura lt;s? are they going to be taller too?
    Our world is full of surrender at the first sign of adversity, do not give up when the challenge meets you, meet the challenge. Through perseverance comes the rewards, the rewards that make life so enjoyable.

    Seize the day, trusting little in the future.

    if you want something, go after it. if you want to screw someone over, look DEEP in your heart and realize Karma is a bitch
