BeanoNYC said:Thanks. I was having trouble with my performa 8's. They were fine in the morning after a few runs I would have to crank the buckles all the way down; I would then loose feeling in my toes. If I didn't do it, I would feel like I was coming out of the front and my heel would lift. I kept on driving the bootfitter nuts with this.
The store that I bought it from has a boot guarantee and they put me in x-wave 9's. All I had to do was cover the difference.
I haven't skied on them yet, but they feel much more secure. I wanted something that fit more like my hockey skates.
Consider getting custom footbeds made regardless...any boots with custom beds go from performing like an old Cadillac to a new Ferrari.
Thanks for the help,
Rich
