![]() ![]() However, my shin lost a lot of muscle, has a screw right in the middle where the tongue could hit and can be a bit tender. My left ankle, I believe has severe calcification which restricts my dorsiflexion to about 90°, though I can extend relatively normally. I was in an accident many years ago where my left leg suffered major damage. My condition is somewhat unique and a bit of a conundrum. The reason I am inquiring is because I want to gauge what I might buy vs what I have. What can you guys tell me about today's flex ratings, and perhaps specifically about where this Lange RX100 fits into the scheme of things? TIA I have no idea how these boots are going to feel on the hill and while I don't like super stiff boots, I don't want boots that are too soft and will flex out the first time I hit a big bump. But this boot is listed for "strong intermediates to expert skiers". And the 100 flex may have even been softer than my old Salomons. I tried on a pair of Lange RX100's (100 flex). My boots liners are pretty well packed out and a new liner doesn't make sense. ![]() Back then 110 was super stiff and only pure race boots were stiffer yet. The Salomon XWave 8.0's are rated at 90 flex, but to me feel stiffer. I used to destroy boots in a season, but now am very light on the tongues, ski from the bottoms of my feet and the tongue/cuff mostly acts as shock absorption and stability more than as leverage. I have a light touch and don't pummel turns like I used to do as a less accomplished skier. I've been in the same Salomon boots for over 15 years now. ![]()
