No idea, but his DC boots were like a 6 on a scale of 1-10, which I absolutely love. Not stiff at all, but not soft either. just in the middle.

Re: The boot thread
So wild they called it a 9, and the transcend an 8. Not even close. I cant imagine what their "mid flex" boots are like. Might have to get a pair for house slippers.

I had the Judges, and they were about the same flex as my Deeluxe Areth Rin's (6/10 vs 4/10 on their scales)

Re: The boot thread
9 so stiff, next ones should be softer.
when trying it on they felt really stiff, too stiff for my liking.

Well at least I'm sitting on a few new pairs of his DC boot for the future.Blessed420 wrote: Sat Mar 15, 2025 12:47 pm9 so stiff, next ones should be softer.

Re: The boot thread
When you stocked up, did you already know they were on their way out? Or did you just grab a bunch when you knew you landed in the one that worked best?
a bit of taper, a lot of camber
Re: The boot thread
@Baldface Travis told me he was gonna be off their program and it was the last year of his boot. I had been riding his boot for 3-4 years already at that point and knew it was the best boot for me that I'd ever had, so I went deep.ad1105 wrote: Sat Mar 15, 2025 7:26 pm When you stocked up, did you already know they were on their way out?

Re: The boot thread
If you can believe it when they came out they were rated 8/10. They bumped them down to 6/10, which I'd still call generous.coleslawed wrote: Sat Mar 15, 2025 12:28 pm I had the Judges, and they were about the same flex as my Deeluxe Areth Rin's (6/10 vs 4/10 on their scales)
Cole sold me these Judges as fuck-around boots for carpet boarding / balance board jibbing. They're beat up, but even so are sooooooooo soft. I can literally fold them in half, boa dial to toe box, with minimal effort. I have a set of Adidas Tactical shells that probably have 70-80 days on them that I wouldn't call that stiff, and they barely budget.
Re: The boot thread
Looking at a few new boots-
The DC Transcend and K2 Evade.
Anyone have any experience on fit with these two?
@Spenser and @pow_hnd I know you guys have with the Transcend.
Cheers!
