| Tim,
Big differance between Nordica and Fisher boots and the abducted stance. Fisher the abduction starts in the heel, and Fisher starts in the midfoot. That alone makes a big difference. The function of the abduction is to apply pressure to the inside of the boot/edge quicker. One problem is that not everybody is abducted and if you place your feet where they aren't happy it can cause problems. One problem that can happen is stress on the MCL. The ideal person for the boot is someone that is abducted and slighty varis forefoot. I think they have there place. I also an a big fan on Nordica and because the boot abduction is from midfoot forward the boots don't hurt me. Fisher is a fantastic boot that is getting better every year, I also like the way they ski, but after a couple of runs the inside of my knees get sore.
Thanks
