Is the difference in half sizes (28.0 vs. 28.5) all in the liner or is the foot board/bed different?
Liner.

The liner and foot bed. The footboard remains the same.Is the difference in half sizes (28.0 vs. 28.5) all in the liner or is the foot board/bed different?
I weigh in at 250+ right now. The medium tongue seems way flexy to me. I guess I could stick with it and give it a try.
The middle buckle is most important and the position of it on the Krypton along with the hinge point is supposed to be superior.

End of last season I was at 215-220, and I go with the stiff tongues.
I'm 195, hoping to be 185-190 by mid season and I still think I'll be going with the stiff tongues. I tried on a Rampage before I ordered the Pros online and whatever tongues they had in them I could fold over like a piece of paper....felt almost like moon boots they were so soft.
I typically want my boots to be as stiff as possible. Back in high school and for several years after when I skied bumps 95% of the time, I typically was in a Lange or Rossi race boot. I never really had issues with shin bang like some people seem to get.
Yeah, the Cross has the stiffness insert too, he already put that in the boot I was trying on last night. I'll probably just end up with the Cross and getting the stiffer tongue, I guess they're not terribly expensive. I like the sound of the stiffer Gold liner, but I guess my monster feet won't fit...
Gold liner is firmer and denser. You need the room man!
You may need the stiffer tongue if you want more than a 120 Flex but you can get one later if you need it.
Stiffer is not always better..........
...than that of Greg at 130ish (or whatever his scrawny ass weighs).
Holy Crap Greg, you are only 5 lbs over me!135. Get it right. :roll:

You better make sure to let Brian hit the fall line ahead of you. If he were to fall on you, he'd snap you like a twig.

Does it make sense to have a back up pair of boots?
I absofreakinlutly love my Kryptons, and though I am likely selling my old Storms, I wonder if I would be wise to keep that second pair, just in case I have an issue with a boot on a powder day and need a faithful friend for back up.
Who has a boot quiver?
Naw, Greg floats over the bumps, so he gets down faster anyway. I just kind of smash into them...
