Can we get this Krypton talk into a separate thread?
I was thinking the same thing, but am too tired right now. I'll try to remember to do a little creative spliting in the morning....

Great pick, it's a fun ski for sure. What boot did you own anyway?
Nordica Speedmachine...
Apparently there's a few performance orientated boots with wider lasts, but yes he indicated that my selections would be slim. Thanks for the input though.
Sorry for the hijack.
Tecnica Mega is 105, Vento HVL is 106, Head has a mid entry that's 106...the iType and their new Peak...a three buckle boot. All of them are pretty roomy everywhere, not just across the ball of the foot and their a few models down the line in performance. So, what I'm saying is rather than find a boot wide enough to fit your forefoot right off the shelf, find a boot that fits everywhere else and then stretch/grind for the room you need at the widest part of your foot. Either way, off the shelf you're going to have to sacrifice something initially...comfort or performance...but its 10x easier for a good bootfitter to modify the boot for the comfort you need than it is to increase the performance level....we can't change the composition of the plastics, but we can make it roomier. Skidmarks sounds like he knows his stuff and he's in CT...so go spend some time with him and see what he can do for you...it'll be worth your trip. I have no doubt that I'd be able to make your foot happy in a performance boot and from what I've read from Skid, I'm sure he could too.
even at 106 he figured he'd have some stretching and/or grinding to do to fit my foot..
:-o sounds more like a flipper than a foot! :razz: I've fit a bunch of HVLs in the past...handy boot to have in stock and the 95 will ski well.
Can we see a picture of this foot? Please!

I just copied this from a previous post that I made on a different thread:
I bought Fischer Watea 78's last year. I think they are great all mountain skis, easy to ski from hardpack to crud and they're fast too. I think last year was the first year they were made but maybe there may be some of last years version around for cheaper. They changed the graphics for this year. I ordered them last summer from ski-depot.com and had no problems, I received them promptly. This link is for last years model:
