Well, that is good news to me.  I am having no trouble controlling my skis with my existing boots, and I was really hoping not to have to upgrade.  They do everything I ask, including high speed wide arcs and quick short turns on steep, narrow runs.  At the beginning of this season, they were too mushy, but since then I have stiffened them with the inserts, and I have never felt that the boots were too soft that they hindered my progress. 

Besides, I was not looking forward to boot shopping.  Ski shopping and demoing can be fun, but boot shopping....I could do without that.  There aren't too many good bootfitters out there willing to take the time needed to get it right.

All the best,
