lange question
I am in the market for new boots and with very narrow feet have been
looking mostly at lange. I am a light but aggressive skier and spend a lot of time in the new england woods. The 2001 Lange L10 seems to fit well, but i am not sure if the model is right. skimag.com's boot review describes a L10 and L10 race. I would like to avoid the race boot because i think this would be too stiff for the bump and wood skiing I like. In the shop, they have an L10 race fit and the L10 ACD (for wider feet). Is the race fit boot their racer or just a low volume version of the L10? the ski shop dude insists it is not a race boot. I would appreciate advice from anyone familiar with their line. thanks. |

I think the ski shop dude is correct. For some reason, my L10's of that vintage say "Race" on them but they are not the extra-riveted race models, as I understand it. Go figure (8).

I presume the closer fit of the L10 Race meant less padding. I have the L10 ACD and I'm very happy with them. Great fit for narrow feet, but I do have an extra in-sole (a flat one and a custom one on top). I didn't try the race version, but I also understand it is lower volume boot. I'd say the ACD version would be a great all round boot, just not for racing I guess. Should be fine on bumps etc. Certainly the best boot I've had (used to have Raichle, and they were pretty good). |

Tha ski shop dude is correct. To double check pull the liner and look at the rivets attaching the shell pieces from the inside. If there are 3+ rivets (including ankle hinges) or immovable bolts you have the stiff race boot. If it has the ankle hinges and one adjustable or removable nut at the back it is the "normal" L10 in low volume (or "race") fit. Aar |

He's right. I've got the race-fit, been skiing on it for 2 years now, and
that's exactly what it is. -pete "dave" wrote in message om... I am in the market for new boots and with very narrow feet have been looking mostly at lange.
