*** I'm writing this up here to help anyone avoid the excrutiating pain i went through for a couple of seasons, and also to see if others have made the same experience. *** A while back, i had a thread going here talking about my hell's case of shin-bang. I tried about everything you could insert or smear on, endlessly tweaked my boots, and went to a (great BTW) bootfitter 3 times. Nothing really seemed to help. Then, when looking at my retired Burton asym one day, i had the idea of playing with canting. See, I read on the Swoard/ExtremeCarver site that they recommended an absolutely and religiously flat stance. So that's what i set on my board and forgot about it... but as soon as i put some canting back in (a bit of front tip, and a good amount of rear heal up and lateral) the damn shin-bang was gone. Simply gone. and i've never turned back. My style still is what it is, neither worse nor better, and i have much room for improving my snow schmoozing still... but man do i enjoy it more now! Hope this helps someone. CP

Turns out wasn't right size... These are still for sale. I just lowered the price to $299.

Yes, they are! (Sent from Zermatt :D)

Unfortunately the pending sale did not go through 'cause this wasn't the buyer's size. T'is the season, so make sure you get the right boots!!! Willing to talk price if needed. CP

oops.. sorry - must have missed it. Getting on it now... yes they're still available.

These are still for sale! Cheers,

Absolutely, feel free to send me a message if you have any questions!

These are really great boots! I'm a bit surprised nobody has proposed to offer them a new house yet. Happy to reconsider the price if that's the issue. Best,

Sad to report that I'm selling my HEAD Stratos Pro size Mondo 30 All original parts and no modifications - including all accessories (extra pads, hard and soft tongues, even the "manual"!) Bought new and used only 3 days. Excellent condition! (few minor scratches) ***LOW PRICE*** $299+shipping Please contact me via forum email or at [comapedrosa at gmail dot com] Happy to answer any questions or provide photos. CP

Thanks so much for all the good tips. so no one carries UPZs?

Thanks so much for the quick response Bobdea. Any thoughts where i could try UPZs? Also, does anyone have any experience with Performance Downhill in NH?

Hi All, i reently moved to Boston and am looking for a good shop for hardboots and good boot fitter (ideally the same place)! Looking for some Stratos Pro, UPZ (would love to try) or Raichle... I'd really appraciate your help! a little bit of background: started boarding in 1991, never used soft boots. Used an old pair of UPS for ever until they fell apart and bought a pair of Stratos Pro online a couple of years ago. But they caused me the worst case of shin bang in the world!! i probably made the typical beginner's mistake: bought them too big! :smashfreaIf you'r curious, currently riding a Swoard, which is serving me well. Thanks in advance for any recommendations! I'd be happy to drive a couple of hours for a good shop & fitter! Cheers,
