I have serious "back seat" problems and find that lift under the boot toe helps.

Please dont take the following statement wrong, but Is it the boots or is it the technique that is the issue? I too have a "back seat" problem but its because of poor technique. So when I ski I have to keep telling myself to pull my feet back and to get out of the "back seat".  In PMTS, pulling your feet back one of the movements that is focused on as "proper technique".  Its only natural human reaction to lean back when your skis are heading down a mountain, along with the fact that your skis/feet will naturally be the fastest part of your body, kind of like they are "coming out" from under you.  PMTS also stresses a more upright position, and some ramp angle if your taller maybe.
