In my third season with these boots and so far so good. They've held up well and the heel pocket is still solid. The only thing I've been wondering is if I'm able to flex them enough. I'm thinking of taking out the top screw to reduce the flex to 120 and give that a shot. Has anyone tried that and found it to be a noticeable change? I won't be able to try it myself for a couple weeks and I'm curious.
