Dalbello Voodoo also fit me well. Also check out Full Tilt boots if you haven't already. They are pretty much same as Raichle Flexon boots.
I think you can buy softer or stiffer tongue to get make boots stiffer or softer. I think Full Tilts have higher instep than Dalbello when you get wider ones (it did not fit me well).
Try this one. BTW Salter's is closed for summer. Reopen in Oct

How is the the condition of the boots?
I will take the boots if they are in good condition
Email me sunnyrodeo@hotmail.com
For some reason it does not let me to send PM or email.
Does anyone know what these bindings are? And how they are?
I've been told these are sno pro bindings.
Are they ok paired up with burton factory prime?
Thanks
Maybe 325 being softer, it did not bother you as much. With stiffer boots you need more precise fit.
try some of these pads

You can make your boots fit pretty good as long as you are within 1/2 to 3/4 size.
I find I never get a good fit anyways from boots off the shelf (I have wide toe box and narrow heel).
C or L pads with ankle wrap will help you with heel lift.. and use the shims or insoles if the boots are too big overall (or top of the foot pads if it works with your liner).
It's only couple of bucks and worth a try. Get some double sided tape (not so sticky ones) also so you can try moving the pads around to find the right spot.
Then use the tape it comes with the pads. It takes couple of tries.
I rode the Saber for two days before snow turned crap. It was good. Very damp (I havent ridden any metal board so this was the dampest of all the board i've ridden). Held edge well. Little soft between the binding (hopely i'll lose some weight and it will fix it self). Overall I like it. I just need to find binding to go well with this board. What binding have you tried with it?
What board did you end up getting?
I haven't gotten any boot fitting from them but i've been in the shop. I don't know if they do boot fitting.
they have very little selection of skis and boards. Most to cater to beginners and kids so i am not sure if they are the best choice.
Wicks ski shop in downingtown exton area were doing boot fitting when i was in there. But most of the kids that work there had no clue about what they were selling (they were friendly tho). Luckily boot fitting was done by older guy. It look like they had alot of skis and wall full of superfeet so obviously they care about foot beds and boot fitting etc (they also had one of those oven thing for custom foot beds). I ask about it and he said it's about $100 for custom molded foot bed.
Buckmans is another place that may be ok if you get the right person. Usually each store has one person that knows their stuff. Overall their staff seems to be better trained than other stores also.
What issues are you having with your boots? Did you finally get hard boots set up?
How stiff is the eliminator?
I currently ride 164cm Burton Custom X and 168cm Ride Yukon (wider Timeless).
If you've ridden either one of these, how does F2 compare to them (stiffness, edge to edge, edge hold, faster base etc). Thanks
How do you like the bindings?
Pros, Cons etc
I am very interested in this binding but does not know much about them.
I get they are very adjustable and base plate looks very well crafted but the highbacks and straps does not look very special.
I looked around but it is hard to find user review on these.
