Thanks Gang...Lynn..you're so right..I was SOOOOO trying to hang on to the Raptors and never thought I'd be "booting up" in performance. The edge to edge quickness of this boot is much more noticeable than the Raptors. Still it's all about the fit and these seem to be spot on.
? ? ?The Toe Box actually allows my toes to move up and down freely, I mean I feel like there is a bubble over my toes. This movement does not have any negative? impact on performance and there is no toe bang. I think this is because the heel pocket is very snug, the upper cuff buckling and Boot strap are connected and fitted so well to my leg...it's just "bam" and turn. So...my evolution and growth continues.
Meput and ToddW.....you know guys I have such HUGE anxiety when even thinking about new boots. It's such a struggle for me to pull the trigger. At 50-60 times out per season, with all the slices on the sides of my boots tipping....it looks like Freddy Kruger was wearing them. Still, I knew what I was dealing with. But had I known how much more "feel" I had with the new Lange,......yeah...I still had to be mentally ready to make the change. Pricing and availability were just the last straws that pushed me over the edge!
? ? ?Todd...not sure about Portillo this summer...might have to miss this one. Alice and I are going to Italy end of may for 2 weeks for a 6 day bike ride in Puglia and a visit to the east coast, Pompei, Sorrento, and Capri, for hikes and amazing foods! But it IS on my back burner.
? ? Are you planning on going?? Best to all, Gary
