So what does everyone think? The descendant series looks pretty cool, but what there are no more drop kicks, B&E, or Tom Wallisch pro models... This year looks sorta plain to me in terms of just how the boots look. What do you think?

I have tried on the new 2016 original and the tongue liner is much roomier and makes them so softtttttt. The seths i had for a bit and they were stiff as hell for me even when i switched out the tongue so im sticking with them neon drop kicks.... and my local shop got their hands on the descendant and they said hey were horrible and didn't wan to carry them. They said it didn't seem like a final product

What which shop was that? What are they complaining about. It's a pretty bi step forward compared to the original so if they are stocking those they have some pretty odD opinions and prob would not be a shop to get fitted at.

Well they probably one of the reasons they bought Dalbello would be so they could incorporate some of the design features and technologies into their FT boots.

We'll they seem like they are a decent hip from what I can tell so I guess they just wern't feelin the boots. But I do stand by the fact that the descendant is a big step up from the original so if they sold the original they may just be stuck in the past of the flexon. I'm sure once they relize the fit options te descendant will be a boot they sell a lot.

I'd still go with Dalbello boots, digging the looks this year though.

makes sense that you like the looks of the 2016 FTs because they look so similar to dalbellos now

Ok everyone Im going to have to apologize for a misquote I have never seen the new dependent in person and this was just my collected opinion from ns and all around, however i will let everyone make there own opinion on these boots Ithis was not a direct quote from my shop i love my shop and dont want to give them a bad rep. I have always found them a very helpful.

Older Blue T-Wall boots were my favorite to be honest
