NOT the Lange f7, they have horrible liners. They don't get tight enough, so your heel slides up and down. They're heavy, and uncomfortable. That's why I'm getting Soft boots.

Vicous means the Dabello Krypton which i also like. super adjustable everything from the flex to the under the liner footbed can be changed.

i have a soft boot. very soft. i ski park regulary, but out west in the bowls they are fine. you just have to put more pressure onto them to get the results you want. but unless you are a complete pussy, it isnt exactly hard.

Please tell me you are basing that off of specs or an actual demo not just the new colors and look!

Are certain boots better for jumping or are the ones that feel the most comfortable the best boots to get.

Lange CRL 80 FR

My review from December:

These are the best boots I have ever ridden. They have a nice, forgiving flex, and they are incredible for jibbing. They have padded insoles and a shock absorber under the heel. Unlike old Lange boots, you don't need feet shaped like popsicle sticks to fit. The new "medium" last accomodates a wide range of foot types. Also, they are very light. I read one review that said they were like Ferraris for your feet. That reviewer was absolutley right. Every component on these boots works perfectly (the buckles, even when torqued way down, open as easily as a car door.) BUY THESE BOOTS.

P.S. If you are on the heavier side, go for the Comp 120 FRs. Basically the same boot with a stiffer flex (i.e. more like a race flex.)

no i'm not just goin off what the new 1080 boots look like, the new boots are supposed to somehow make hard impacts softer on your shins....they are really expensive though

I love my Technica Icon alu comps. Ridiculously comfortable, and they dont give me shinbang.

The best boot is the one that fits YOU best. Its been said so many times... Seriously, boots are boots...
That being said, my favourites, and the ones that have never ever given me shin or toe bang are the Lange Banshee 110.
