You bring up a good point Glenn...

Having "race boots" for all day skiing can be tough on the tootsies....
One can have that race boot ground, blown out, sanded, and blessed by the pope in order to get that "I've just been swallowed by an alligator and can't get out"....kind of what I did for my Head RS80....but the flex on that boot worked for me. The stance works for me....not to much forward lean and not too upright.....and this boot is not a true plug boot. 

Having a race boot for everyday snow conditions might be a great ego trip but skiing them in "all day" snow conditions, I've seen guys spend as much time buckling and un-buckling their boots as they do riding the chair. But if the "boot fits" and allows the skier to achieve their ideal stance for balance and performance for a variety of snow condtions....then it's all good.

Good Boots =Love Story:
Excellent fit, correct alignment, proper flex I think should be the goal of the all mountain skier. .......oh yeah...comfy means happy toes, warm feet and never having to tell your feet you're sorry!
