I think Boot fit is really a big deal for me.. just like a cycling shoe.. I have a friend in the bcski biz..he works for Hagan.. I wasnt convinced on their boot.. as I tried it on.. and I felt a compression on the medial cuneiform ... not sure if its about break in or heat molding for proper fit.. any thoughts on that?

Thanks for the video! Are you planning on more skiing videos? I Was wandering, did you try to ski the f1 with the navis or havier skies?

Thanks dude, that was really helpful.

I would like to know what was wrong with the Dynafit boots, can you go deeper into that?

Hey my man I was wondering as a downhill skier from the northeast looking to get into touring, are there any bindings that can do both? I’ve kinda figured I have to go to great lengths to find places to tour near me so I would be downhill more than doing free ride/touring. Any insight?

Nice video. What is your orange top in the recent Torrys video? Thanks.

Hi, just out of curiosity regarding the use of Scarpa F1s, would like to ask what is your weight? I am 6.13 in height at 187 pounds and can flex those boots like leather. They were really too soft and not suitable for me even for a lighter 88mm underfoot touring ski. Is really hard to find a stiff (around 110-120 flex) and also light touring boot.

Quick q... Did you try the dynafit radicals? They are a tad softer than the hoji free but way wider and larger instep. You get the best of the hoji at a more comfortable and wider feet...

Nice vid. What length Navis length did you go with and what’s hour height? I’m 180cm height and wondering if I go with the 179 or 185. Current nordica enforcer is 185.
