zoltan Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 I'll be interested to see how soft the softest one will be. The reason I passed on my UPZ boots was because they were just too stiff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fastskiguy Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 anybody have comments about the fit of these boots? I need something with some major width. My narrow boots have been stretched to the limit and they are, uh, OK I guess. I'll need stretching with any boot but would like to start with something a bit wider.

Gleb Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 sheffy, I just recieved my buckles in the mail too. I've never had a problem with Dan. Fastskiguy, the UPZs are about as wide as boots come, I think. Plus, you can use them on your skis with the changable heel and toe pieces, which i have for sale.

Scorpio Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 How do these new versions of UPZ boots fit with TD1's? I know there were some interface issues in the past but I think that was with the previous model UPS boots. Anybody try them with the TD1's?

alexgforce Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Hey Hans, Do you have any idea how to get in touch with the manufacturer? I want to get a few pairs in Greece. I tried looking for their web site but couldn't find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeW Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 They used to have UPS (pre-UPZ days) website. I cant reckon exactly where it is, but wasn't it in Austria ? Apparently, that website's no longer working ? Dunno if that'd be the manufactur's webpage ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gleb Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Im just curious. How come you got 'em for sale? the DIN soles. I'm just gonna get some ski boots. I haven't actually put them in but having an intec heel would make it a huge pain to remove. I could just as easily go into the car and get ski boots. Someone (I think Bobdea) told me about that hassel but I just bought them anyway. I only skied twice this year anyway. One of these years I'm just gonna sell my skis because I have way more fun on a board. Not next year though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinecure Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 By any chance have they changed the POS walk/ride mechanism? The old one was a PITA since it always flipped closed if you walked in any kind of powder. It would work better if they just turned it upside down.

Gleb Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 It flips the same as before i think. Hasn't bother me too much except when I rode in walk mode (don't anymore for the most part) and fall, it would get flipped back up. Not too much powder to worry bout here.
