Jim, not feeling guilty, just annoyed with myself for making poorly-informed and too-hasty choices for my last two boots. Those should have been keepers, but ended up (or soon to end up) being ditched after only a season or two. The Lange Comp Pro had irreconcilable alignment problems that would have cost too much for a bootfitter's fix to make it worthwhile -- better to buy a new pair. And the Tecnicas, well I told the story already -- too soft.
Josh, what you say makes perfect sense. I have not ruled out the Krypton by any means, and I am still intrigued by my last try-on of those a couple of years ago -- the lack of pressure points, all-enveloping fit, smooth flex. Very nice. I need to try the shell again, as they have made some changes to the fit as of last year (C4 concept, whatever that means) and I don't know if they will still work for me. That, and I really need to self-assess my skiing style and needs to see if a boot of that type would suit where and how I ski. For your skiing, I could definitely see those as being an excellent match. Your insight into these boots has been very helpful and informative, and will be a great aid in making my final choice.
Cheers,
Svend
