Crap and I just invested in new boots this season....this looks pretty dope!

Oh wow, these do look exciting. What does the cuff look like? Is the floating tongue a true third piece of plastic you get to push against on the downhill like in a burlier boot (Radical Pro) or is it just the usual overlapping cuffs?

Are they compatible with shift bindings?

I dont get how they measure the width of the shoes, it might be 101mm, but it's narrower than almost everything claiming

agreed. Very narrow (and low in the toebox). Doesn't fit my foot unfortunately.

I like to see an updated TLT6.

It would be nice to see what buckles you undo on the up. I love my radical pros but I undo the cuff buckle for the ups in addition to the hoji lock if the climb is significant. it feels way more free in the range of motion. I know several other folks who do the same. I'm ok with that. With the ridge the info from dynafit and this video it isn't clear what the reviewer does with the buckles in real life application.

This is a great point! With the older versions of Hoji Lock this was definitely necessary and I would loosen them on any uphill that was longer than 20 minutes. The floating tongue almost completely reduces the need for undoing the top buckle. I would say if I started my day with a multiple-hour uphill I would still keep it loose, but for multiple laps the range of motion is realized enough to not adjust again for the rest of the day. Hope this helps.

@@dougstenclik9455 Thanks for the response and honesty. Seems like an unwritten rule for retailers to talk only about how a product is supposed to be used instead of how it is. Appreciate you "breaking the rule."

tried them today, you'd probably want to loosen the middle one a bit, depends how tight you need it for downhill it's really fast though. The bigger issue I see is with the strap, as I'm not sure how strong you can really pull with the lock lever and the attached line. I like real tight fit so I'd pull the booster strap still more after locking the boots, and therefore I had to release it a bit before moving back. Still we're talking minimal amount of work, and if it's not for big downhills, heavy snow etc you can probably live with just pushing the lever back and forth for most transitions. Really impressive, and the shell feels super stable, no movement on the lock itself like with pretty much everything else on the market

@@snowee___joey just skied them today, they are really solid on downhill, the only complaint I have is that I have hard time to get them tight at the calf, but I did change the liner for thicker and my calf is not too huge either. The walking angles aren't as good as Scarpa F1, etc. but the sliding tongue and proper lock is a big deal on downhill

Looks like a Weinnmann Boot from 1982
