Howdy!
I'm in need of a new plug boot, but there are none available in my area to try on. I've skied in a Nordica WC 150 for sometime, but mine is old and without EDT. I can't say I'm a fan of EDT due to cold feet. I skied in a Head RS130 (non) plug in the past, but felt a bit over-flexed and they packed out after one season. One other oddity with the Head RS130 was that the shell length was a few mills longer than what I was used to. I know, I know, those boots ain't made for walking, but it always did feel odd walking in them.
So, first question: I've read that the new Head WCRs are even longer in both the toe box area and also in sole length. My left foot is a tad shorter than my right, and would prefer to fit to my small foot and grind if possible. Could I possibly go down a shell size in the WCR? Does anyone have experience skiing these new boots? Does it feel that much longer (internally mainly, but externally as well) and does the forward lean / ramp feel the same as the old RS?
Second question: I'm considering the 2020 Fischer Podium boot also. Is anyone skiing these that has also been in a Nordica plug or Head? The Fischer web site says they have a more "upright stance" but I can't find any info on forward lean or ramp.
If anyone has a list of forward lean angles and ramp for boots, I'll buy you a sixer! haha
Thanks for any help you can provide.
