So I bit the bullet today and upgraded boots. Coming from my first time boots that had entirely too much flex to a performance boot. Stopped in several stores but after some recommendations and proximity to my house I went over to Salters to get the fit done to see if the Dalbello boots they carry were right for me. After going through the fitting process where I was happy to find out I really didn't need many adjustments from stock as opposed to my wife who he said needed all the adjustments with orthotics and such, he put me into a boot that was still entirely too much flex but felt good. Next was a stiffer boot that felt awful when contacting my ankle. Third boot from the second I put it on just felt different than any other boot i've ever put on. The fit just felt perfect on the ankle contact points and such. After walking around the store for about an hour checking out the flex and features I decided this was the one I wanted.
So the winner is the
Dalbello Axion 11
Little stiffer than I anticipated but it felt good and gives me a little more room to work into it. Thanks for all the advice from everyone on the site and at the mountain.

Really had a good experience with the guy at Salters but the limited selection brands way may deter some if a Dalbello boot isn't right for your foot.
Anybody have these guys that can give me some feedback.
