nekdut Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 There is a pretty good deal on steepandcheap.com today. If anyone is looking for a fairly stiff softboot with a short sole lenght, the F22 would fit the bill well. Today ONLY though, until 11pm PST. Check it out: http://steepandcheap.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Sub Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 isnt that last years model? REI has this years on closeout for only slightly more, just in case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Sounds like a good buy. Anyone know if they run narrow? Moldable but not removeable. Meaning that they just sort of mold to your foot , not quite a conformable? If REI has them that would be cool. I could try them on. I am looking for a stiff soft boot that is very narrow, conformable and low volume. "For the next time I have to ride soft boots" The Burton "Comps" are finally coming apart after only 3,545 days!! Just don't build em like they used to! Now, how do I make these really cool boots look like SORRELS!! Thanks for the tip. Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 I just bought a pair of F24's and I would have to say yes, they fit a narrow fit quite well. I'm not familiar with the 22s but the 24s are just a tad less stiff than the Malamutes and are very low profile. I have narrow feet and I think they fit me very well. They were highly recommended by Vinn Q at Out Of Bounds at Killington. I'm combining them with the Salomon spx7 bindings and a Prior Khyber. I'll be using it for trees, bumps and powder. Sad to say that due to an address snafu the Khyber arrived a week too late and now I have to wait until next year to try it out! I hate it when that happens!:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Thanks, do they fit close to "Street Size" . I may not be able to get down to REI today. Might have to just go for it and hope for the best. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 I wear a size US 11 and he sold me a mondo 29. My toe was just touching the end but like hard boots, once you tighten them up and flex forward they were perfect. You should take them somewhere and have them heat molded, although I hear you can do it with a hair dryer. The thing I most like about them is how low profile they are. They take up less space than my hard boots. They're also extremely comfy when walking around. When riding I believe my hard boots are actually more comfortable but that's because I feel the need to crank the soft bindings really tight for support. Perhaps that will change with time.
