I'm still pretty comfortable that Billy can get that boot hooked up for you, no problem.
For many people that buy off the shelf and don't have the know how or the understanding that high performance boots most likely need customizing, they get out there and their feet are cold and in pain, the boots are too stiff and down goes the ski experience.
You my friend have been guided by a fleet of supporters and your own knowledge and are well on your way to boot Nirvana!
Oh yeah, forget softening the boots, we could always fatten you up if the boots are too stiff!!!!
Let us know if you have a chance to hop into some new boots prior to your fitting with Billy!
Best,
Gary
