Last season I tried my friend's freeride racing boots with flex 120 and while I found them truly awesome on the downhill, on the lifts I was in agony unless I completely unbuckled them. Guess they are being racing boots for a reason - they are not really meant to be fully done up on your feet for long periods of time. Freeriders or downhill racers unbuckle and even take them off once they finish their run - i.e. after a couple of minutes. For all-day skiing my friend (she's instructor in the resort but likes to participate in races) normally uses 80-90 flex and says it's plenty. No wonder your boots are painfull.
mine are getting really good actually now just with 4 or 5 days on them. toes are no longer in such agony-although a little cold! my old ones were 100flex and horrible to ski in, even teaching unless in an indoor slope |

yeah and there is the end of year party in june/july time up the back of one of the corries, not sure what its called-bbq and a kicker

ahhh they are good arent they-the guys i work with in bomrio here all have them and rave about them!
where did you get them from as i cant find them online-they got them through snow and rock but only because his kids go to ambition! |

just to follow up on my moaning abotu scotland being so good and italy not-we have had about 50cms of fresh in the last 24hrs and it hasnt stopped yet!!
tomorrow will be epic as was chest deep in the steep today! |

mine have a buckle already-thats why i like em, everyone should get some sort of decent strap as the velcro i had before was terrible!
also going to look into some zipfit liners |

sorry-mine are 140flex but have the option to go to 150 if i want (which i cant see me doing). They are Atomic race boots but only because i was able to get a good price on them from folk out here-was set on the salomon ghosts for next season which are 130flex one of the best thing i have found with them is the large power strap which is really solid and helps keep the top of the boot really tight |
