Hey Brendon, seeing that you're from the other side of the world, doesn't surprise me I've never heard of Strolz ski boots. I'll make a point of checking them out on line.
Sounds to me like they are really dialed in to your feet. Fitting like a glove is key!
HOw many times a year do you get out and ski?
What kind of terrain do you spend most of your time on?
What are the majority of ski conditions like that you ski?
The spectrum for boot choices is amazing. We all pretty much believe it's more important to have better boots than better skis!
Don't know what kind of performance criteria you currently have with your existing? boots but maybe we can get some of the gang here to chime in on? what factors they sense with good boots. Here are some of mine...
First, the overall anatomical fit of the shell is very close to the shape of my foot.
When standing upright and then relaxing my knees I feet centered in the boot..not too far forward or rearward.
I can actually feel my feet working beneath my ski...good response edge to edge.
I can feel the outside edge of the boot and inside edge when pressured.
When skiing, the boot flexes just enough for me to be in an attack position and hold that position witout fighting the boot.
I can wear the boots 4-5hours on the mountain without my feet falling off.
No delays in transition from edge to edge...quick and precise.
The ability to arc turns both left and right feels about the same.
Is there anything in your boots that you feel is missing?
I believe ski performance starts with the feet....hence....bo ots are the go to tool...get um right...and skiing is much more pleasureable.
Best,
Gary
