I have a Krypton Pro. I maybe interested in an AT boot if I like touring this winter. What are the flex ratings on these boots? Are the souls replaceable? Also, why only half size shells? I wear a 26.5, so it's not a big deal, but I'm curious for folks looking for a small shell.
That's not really different than other boots. The difference is made up in liner volume.I have a Krypton Pro. I maybe interested in an AT boot if I like touring this winter.

These boots are made for walking, so my guess is that by the time the soles are worn out he boots are shot anyway. It's not like walking in your alpine boots thru the parking lot. Cigarette smoking Chamonix Mt Guides wear boots like these daily, for several seasons before they're toast. Garmont makes a 120 flex AT Boot (Shaman), BD makes a 130 (Factor), but I think the 110 Flex Virus Lite is going to be the ticket. The stride on the ups is going to be so much longer with the Virus.
cool
had no idea, new to this aspect of the sport.
You're so lucky to live up in New Hampster! Have you read any of the Dave Goodman Books about BC skiing in New England? How far are you from the Whites?
For as much time as I'm planning on spending in my touring boots this winter, there's no way I could justify spending $800 on a pair of AT boots.
You need to spend more time in your boots or less money on them. We can help with the $$ part
