I do have a novice question about boot term oft used. "cuff" generally refers to the top portion of boot (top buckle/power strap) area yes? There was some reference to allowing this to be "bit" looser as opposed straight jacket tight.

Yes, the "cuff" is the tube of plastic that extends up the shin. On a 4 buckle overlap style ski boot there are 2 buckles on the cuff and often a powerstrap.

I am in the "stiffer is better camp". If I need the boot flex to be a little more progressive and easier on my shins, I can always loosen up the cuff buckles and route the powerstrap underneath the plastic cuff and over the liner.

I'm not a ski instructor, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
