neanderthal Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Hi - I tried this today and wondered if anyone has done something similar. My Indys are more comfortable and a bit stiffer than the UPZ 10 that I have but I love the way my heel doesnt move on the UPZ. Today I rode front foot Indy and rear UPZ. It may be the best of both worlds. Comfort was overall improved and my rear heel didnt move while the front foot had more support. Not sure if ill try again and sadly the local snow is waning so if I do it will be next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowrider Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Best rider I know has ridden two different boots for years. What ever fits right feels right and performs to your satisfaction why not ? If your lucky enough to have perfectly symmetrical feet you will wonder what the hell were talking about but if your feet are drastically different you strive to find what fits.

Beckmann AG Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) Epitomize the 'side by side' comparison? Frequently. Usually when I'm phasing in a new set of shells, and want to quantify the difference made by 'fresh' plastic. Also if I'm upgrading to a new model of a particular boot, (for instance, old plastic sole v. new carbon sole for XC skiing). And if I want to see if anyone is paying attention, I'll ski with an alpine boot/ski on one foot, and a telemark boot/ski on the other. Your experimental configuration is entirely rational.

lowrider Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Also test skis by riding two different skis to compare once you boil down the choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keenan Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Also test skis by riding two different skis to compare once you boil down the choices. As a regular foot rider I have found that my toesides are greatly improved by riding with two left boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLikeSnow Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Jörg from Pureboarding rides with 2 different boots but i don't know any specifics. I think his rear boot is softer :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Jorg rides with DeeLuxe; Free 69 on front and an old Suzuka (in walk mode) on back. I prefer the same boots (front and back) with same calf canting and a symmetric setup with flat bindings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nils Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 used to do that in the late 80's...most slalom riders in the WC did too...they used Salomon SX91 equipe ( the redboot) on front foot, and other stuff in the back. I had salomon SX51 in front, then Koflach Albona on the back ( before switching to SB121 on both feet later on with assymetrical boards) N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
