Hi Calbearski,
I didn't love the fit of the firebird R 140, it was similar to my doberman 130, but something was off for my foot. With some work and zip fit, that may have done it...
The Doberman wc110 felt better for me, and was just a hair softer. The STI 130 feels more flexible than my highly modified/softened doberman 130 was, I'd say firebird 140 was similar in flex to sti 130. I have to admit, if you are looking for a narrow WC type boot that is more energetic and easier, the sti 130 is awesome! Best boot I've ever owned, thx again Newfydog.
And, I can get out of it after skiing on cold day without driving for 10-15min with the heat on my feet, which I never could do in my tecnica r93 or dobies...
Cheers!
