Hello,
I am a skier who is learning high-performance skiing and I'd like to get a pair of new boots. I tried Head Raptor WCR 140S PRO in a local store, they fit perfectly but the Flex is too stiff for me (34 yr male, 171cm 70kg). So I am thinking about WCR 120. However local stores say they can't even preorder because the season is ending. The only way to buy it is online stores... I have a couple of questions before I place the order:
1. Does WCR 120 have the same shape/fitting as WCR 140S?
2. Is it possible to replace the buckles with Spineflex (the one used on Head Flex130+ boots)?
Some interesting facts:
I am currently wearing Salomon S/Pro 120, last 100mm. The stiffness is fine but they are too roomy in warm weather (0 celsius degree+). I didn't put racing boots on my list in the first place because I was worried about comfortability. However, I feel Raptor WCR 140S is even more comfortable than Formula 130RS. They are just more difficult to put on. But after my feet get in place, everything seems so natural and secure. Formula 130RS creates a pain spot on my talus, which Formula 120RS and WCR 140S don't.
Thank you for any advice!
