I've just ordered a pair from BlueTomato. One of the guys I spoke to claimed they were getting a new shipment very soon.

Still I'm a bit sceptic about that, so ordered from the old stock just to be sure.

Maybe a good news. Thanks for the info.
These infos about production or not of Head Stratos are very mysterious

I have heard the same thing as well regarding the HEAD boots. I just took a chance today and bought a pair of Stratos Pros I located on BomberOnline(Mondo size 25.5). I carefully measured out my feet in accordance to BomberOnline's boot selection instructions and ideally I need Mondo 26... I am just hoping that I'll get REALLY lucky and these Mondo 25.5 babies will fit properly :pray: :pray: :pray:

If not, then I'll have to return them :wall: lose out on the return shipping costs :cry: and pray I can find these boots somehow :pray:

Just hoping I won't have to go the Deeluxe/Raichle route, I have been in contact with Patrice and Arnaud via email since I inquired about purchasing an ExtremeCarver, and they were not particularly high on the Deeluxe line for EC...

Any suggestions regarding alternatives if I'm not lucky with these HEAD boots? :pray: :pray: :pray:

@vizsyn : I don't know if the plastic shell size changes between 25.5 and 26. If not it should be OK. If I remember properly, on small HSP sizes, there is also a little plastic rib at the end of the inner sole that could be removed to gain some free room for your feet. Let us know.

@Mirek : of course ACSS mounts on Head Stratos because it's designed for ! It's also suitable for UPZ boots (RC8 / RC10 / ATB).
For Deeluxe boots you have to use the "ACSS for Deeluxe" made by Abrax

@pietrob

I HOPE I won't have to contact you... but if these HEAD boots turn out to be too small for my feet, I will let you know. BTW, BomberOnline might have a pair of Mondo 25.5 still in stock. Best of luck!!!

@Arnaud

Thank you for the tip about the possibility of ribs in the shell... Also, assuming the boots I ordered turn out to be a proper fit, I shall be in contact in regard to purchasing an ACSS modification kit.

May the snow gods smile upon my feet...

@ vizsyn
Possible alternative
Dalbello CRX shape is almost the same of HSP, don't know anything about the plastics.

Dalbello Krypton Pro are largely used by the US national racers.

I did the same as Transistor Rhythm and ordered a pair of Head Straos Pro. Luckily Blue-Tomato had a pair of size 28.0 left. I got them today and they fit perfect om my rather wide foot. Thank Joemzl, for the links to the shops.
