Help on Boots!

Post by Mister Sandman » Friday 20 November 2015, 17:26

Hello to all

I am transitioning to riding pureboarding style.
For this is need a boot with as much flex as possible
presently i am riding in Head Stratos Pro with softer tongue modified per Arnaud 's indications cutting the plastic and adding the ACSS
I feel though they are too stiff and was thinking of getting a pair of Deeluxe. I cannot find the 225 at a decent price but I found a pair of 325 with a great price.
Can anyone help me understand how the flex of the 325 is in comparison with modified Heads? is it worth the change?
I appreciate all responses!!!

Thank you

Mister Sandman

Hello Mister Sandman,

it´s a bit confusing: you are looking for boots with flex as much as possible.
And your choice is between very old boots stiff and stiff. :silly:
So you only want forward flex and no side flex, right?

SB325 is stiff, but you can soften with other tongues or make the tongues thinner.
Cut some plastic of the shell away and you can get them so soft, that there is danger of injury.
But that is possible with the Heads too.
So there will be no need for a change. Except: you´re feeling not comfy in your boots.
