    Cool - good info all. Thank you.

    I have a size 10.5 foot, narrow heel, skinny calves, fairly normal fore-foot and a VERY high instep. The high instep is a problem in most any foot wear I want to buy. The Deeluxe shell accommodates the instep fairly well with minor mods. The instep is so high that I can't slip my foot into a traditional overlap ski boot shell with the liner removed. Slip on casual shoes won't work because I literally can't get my feet in them. You get the idea

    getting into the ms boots is a bit painful for me ( mildly high instep) once i'm in though i don't want anything else

  11. Plate Test Part 2

    I was able to track this one that donek never released, it's fixed on one end and friction slider setup on the other.Ridden on a stock 185 kessler.

    Board feel isolation is close to the old donek f plate, there is a moderate smoothing of the bumps . Board flex is modified quite a bit, with also a substantial speed increase . Turns an already fast board into a rocket, challenging for sure.

    Stock 185 new last season. I will be buying this Allflex longitudinal cut GS plate that I-carve provided for review. This is a match made in heaven for ludicrous speed! I hated this plate on my K168, completely different situation on the 185. Love it!! Smooth, stable, fast, unflappable. Turns tighter than I expected, almost like the bare board. The weight is no big deal and quickly feels normal (not so for the spring plate). I can easily see why these replaced Apex in racing. 
     

     

    Can you  comment on the feel ? whether it's isolated from the snow like the bomber plates?

    My riding impressions ...  

    1  shape seems old school , when it gets up on edge it’s immediately turning and FAST . 
    2. On toeside you can get away with diving hard into the nose 

    3 heelside wants you to shift your weight back a bit , there’s a weird but fun asym rhythm i had forgotten about .
