Ernie00 Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 I'm looking to upgrade my boots, they are a few years old and many many vertifcal feet on them so it might be time for retirement. Is the shell exactly the same from the AF600 (suzuka) and the T700 ? thanks for the info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCrimson Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 To my knowledge (:rolleyes:), the Track 700 is the exact same shell as the AF600/700, Suzuka, Indy. However, the plastic isn't the same as the AF600 and Suzuka. I don't know if it's the same stuff in the AF600 and Indy, that said, according to YYZCanuck's chart, they are the AF700, Indy, and T700 all have the same durometer of plastic and the same elasticity.

Hans Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 AF700 shell = INDY shell = Track 700 shell. The plastic of the last one is thinner/more flexible than the others. Also the the forward lean is not so stiff as the AF700/Indy's (I have had all three). The AF700 shell is asymmetrical. The AF600/Suzuka has a symmetrical shell. Go for the Track 700 if Deeluxe fits you right. Awesome boot, I don't like the crapy thermo but that's just me (too thin, also the heelhold is a little too thin, could use more volume).

bobble Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 i have (or had) suzukas. as near as i can tell the 700 shell is completely identical to the suzukas. i bought the 700 and discovered that i have skinny legs. i can't get the cuff tight enough without heavy socks. i must've been cranking the zip buckles on my suzukas. the liner sucks. i'm using my old suzukas liners. there's a place on the straps to drill out another hole to move the metal catch farther away to make it tighter. i'm hesitant to do that right now. going to try using padding to take up the volume. so if you're coming from suzukas, you might find the 700 cuff might not be as tight as you'd like. at first i didn't like the white boot / red buckles. now i really dig it. white and red goes with everything.

Ernie00 Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 I have yet to go try the 700 but I'm like you bobble .. skinny legged and I need to crank my AF600 to the last 1 or 2 notch to make them work .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surf Quebec Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Salut Ernie, Before buying the Track700, do try the Head Stratos Pro. I have a skinny ankle/heel and the HSP fits me better than the Track 700 (even after seeing a bootfitter). And you can still use the BTS on the Head boots. Go at Sharks and try both.

KingCrimson Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 The AF700 shell is asymmetrical. The AF600/Suzuka has a symmetrical shell. Isn't it only the SB/T325/T225 that's symmetrical? My Suzukas definitely have Asymmetrical Flow Transmission or something to that effect printed on the back of the cuff. AF= Asymmetric Flex?

Surf Quebec Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 AF = Asymmetric Flex , yes Before the Track 700, I had AF600 boots and they were asymmetrical flex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
