All those 3 are different I guess. Which didn't work?

Re: The boot thread
Re: The boot thread
i was thinking of launch and some cheaper boot.
and i thought the echo was stiffer then dialogue lace
Edit: looking at the launch on salomon website it seems its an older model that i have tried.
Re: The boot thread
Depends if it's the upper or lower that's too stiff. Echo has a softer sole, alot softer in the forefoot. Stiffer in the heel and a little stiffer materials in the top.MarkusM wrote: Sat Jan 18, 2025 9:16 ami was thinking of launch and some cheaper boot.

Re: The boot thread
when strapped in i did not get nearly enough side/side and front/back flex with the dialogue lace.
i dont think the echo is it for me.
if the dialouge is a 5-6/10 flex i want something in the 2-3 range.

Re: The boot thread

are you spying on me!

Re: The boot thread
Any boot that has a foam outer sole to me is like a disposable boot. Meant for limited use.
Re: The boot thread
Well, I just said "fuck it" and ordered 3 different pairs of boots to try at shops in Seattle next month. I refuse to go to Baker with rental boots 
Nidecker Kita 9.5
Ride Insano 10
K2 Thraxis 9.5
I'm fairly confident at least one will fit me well. I tried the size 10 Kitas before, and they felt good but a little too big. Tried other, softer, Ride and K2 boots in those sizes, and they seemed to fit me well, too. I'm just going to choose the best fit from those three, return the other two, and call it a day.
Wish me luck

Echo is stiffer than Dialogue.casjcade wrote: Sat Jan 18, 2025 8:58 am Echo is softer than Dialogue, Launch is a simplified previous version of Dialogue, and also softer.
