A couple of other nuggets of wisdom

flex is relative to not only stiffness, but also how upright you are in the boot. If you are already forward, then you don't have much leverage to flex and your foot/ankle can only flex forward so far.

Most side pins are within 1/2" from each other on the vast majority of boots today, I will not make that much of a difference, The Atomics, Nordicas are only 3/8" lower to the inside.

NEVER, NEVER buy a boot that is even the slightest bit too large or voluminous- ITS TOO BIG!

Buy a plug or semi-plug boot unless you are blessed with a generic foot.

If a boot is too soft, when flexed the cuff will push down on the instep, causing pain or disrupting the normal flex of the boot. Go Stiffer and soften later.
