The time has come, to really put to rest my trusty Tecnica xt17...
On the other hand, I do have a pair of Dalbello Scorpion 130, which I rarely used (about ten times in three seasons)
The problem with these is that last time I used them I ended up with a severely inflamed external side of my right lower leg. So swollen that my friends though I had a bone fracture just above the calf...it scared the hell out of me.
Maybe my feet aren't Dalbello feet...
Now, I need a more up to date boot, more precise and that could help my journey (see ski school section).
I have had the opportunity to dry test in a lab a Lange 130 and a Tecnica mach1...
Both in size 27.5/315 bsl, both one size down to my current ones. Both fit very well in the shop. Lange feels more progressive, Tecnica despite being the 90 flex (In case I would ask for either the 110 model or the 130) felt stiffer or better said, more on/off...and I am told that the tecnica plastics are so, let's say "drier".
So, now...what to do? Being a Tecnica lover...but the Lange had me since the very first moment I inserted the foot in it...
