Fischer Centrix Boots

Thanks everyone for demoing the new Fischer boots. It has been really
fun showing off a new and different product. For those of you who
didnt get a chance to try them I will be at Mt Van Hovenberg (Lake
Placid, NY) from Mar 6-13th for JOs and Snow Mt Ranch/Devils Thumb
Colorado from March 26-April 4th for Spring Series.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Next years boot will have a
nicer lacing system, the foot will sit approx. 5 mm closer to the
ground, and each individual boot will be 50-60 grams lighter than our
current prototypes.


Have a nice spring!

Eli,

Any chance of a little bit narrower last - or a thermoform one? I'd
love to ski them, but the demo model I tried on was *wide*. Yes,
dangit, I fit Carbons pretty well.

thanks,

Eli,

I'll take a lower arch. I have flat feet and the high arch digs in to
my foot pretty good.

Marsh,

The last fits me fine so let's not change that...

This discussion makes me realize I'm surprised top-end ski boots
aren't made in several widths. In cycling one company (Sidi) makes
there top end shoes in 3 widths, plus a women's specific model. All
aer fairly flat-footed, as this allows more variation in the insoles
the user puts in (they come with a medium-arched stock insole) Fit is
really important.

It probably wouldn't be feasible for the typcial ski shop to stock 30
or more different size boots in any particular model (10 sizes x3
widths) but it would be good if they at least existed.

I know Alpina makes a low volume and standard last race boot for skate and
classic. I have a narrow (B width) and flat foot. The low volume boot fits me
perfect.

I have a new/used pair of Centrix skate boots which I purchased from
another skiier because they were a size to large for him. I tried to
use them today with horrible results.

These boots hurt my feet so much that I could not ski 1k. Fortunately,
I had my old salomon boots along, so I could ski the race.

Is there a break-in process, or a replacement for the high arch/insole,
or are these boots just expensive firewood? If so, I have a pair of
Centrix Skate boots size 46, worn twice, which I would gladly sell for
$210.
