700 has asymmetric shell, 325 has symmetric shell

i do not know what benefit it gives.
Overhang is a problem only for a carving Yeties and Sasquatches - I has a 290MP boots (Indy T) and it seems i need to turn my bindings to critical angles or complete masochistic bootfitting procedure to put my feet in -2 sizes thermoflex liner.

I don't want to open a new topic just for myself since my problem fit's in here
A buckle of my UPZ boots (4 years old) was torn apart from the boot. Now my question is which new/old boot to get.
Before the UPZ I rode a Blax Toni. I never had Northwave/Raichle/Deeluxe so far.
I wonder if I should try a Deeluxe or just buy another UPZ since the boot was not too bad. Or better fix the old one since the new ones are not good anymore?
I don't think you will ride much better/worse with a different boot right as long as it fits your foot quite well right? Or is this just a misunderstanding by me since I never had very good boots...

Deeluxe is clear ruler on freely available boots.
Other option is Northwave's but they are hard to get.
If you have wide food bed, then also Head is good option.

Deelexe 700 is also good for wide feet. My foot is 25.5 width E, and 700 fits me almost perfectly. It's also soft with yellow BTS so I have no prob sitting on my board.
