I picked up some new boots three weeks ago and have been breaking them in...or they are breaking my feet in as they say ;)

Pretty sick boots and they deliver a lot of power and give me better edge control and quicker turning. The Thermo Moldable liners are nice. My feet are still getting used to the three buckle set up and the continuous flex that my Dalbello Avanti V-10's did not have. Everyday my feet are feeling better and better. I have them set pretty soft at the moment, but they go up to 140+ I have been told. Lots of parts make this boot very easy to customize.

Very nice boot, Mr. Plake!

late is better than never to join the Krypton party ;)

Think we had like a 30 page thread on Kryptons at one point.

I like em'. I do have them set up at the stiffest flex, which they claim 140. there's no common measurement across brands for flex though, so I doubt the Kryptons at 140 are more than say 120 with a Lange. They still feel fairly soft to me at that setting, but I'm someone who likes very stiff ski boots.

enjoy
