zoltan Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 I had the oppertunity to spend a lot of time with the Head, UPZ, and Deeluze SB boots all in size 27, so I went ahead and took some measurements to see exactly how different the shapes of the boots are. Hopefully someone will find this helpful picking their boots. - Tongue of Deeluxe SB and UPZ is 0.75" taller than Head. - The cuff height on the sides is equal between all three. The tallest cuff height in the back is the UPZ, with the SB being 1" shorter, and the Head being 1.25" shorter than the UPZ. - Head forefoot is 0.5 cm wider than Deeluxe SB. UPZ forefoot is 1 cm wider than Deeluxe SB. - Size 27 Head heel is roughly same as size 26 Deeluxe SB heel. UPZ heel is about 2mm narrower than Head heel. - Both Head and UPZ cuffs are much lower volume than Deeluxe SB. The Head cuffs are narrower, while the UPZ cuffs are shorter front to back.

Snowest Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Are the angles (forward lean) the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoltan Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Are the angles (forward lean) the same? The lean is adjustable on all three boots, or I might not be understanding the question correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowest Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Nope you understood correctly... I'm just that naive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
