Default Dalbello SGS

Does anyone have experience with the Dalbello SGS boot's?

I bought a pair last week, but on first try, i learned that whenever i put
pressure on the ski, the bottom, adjustable, part of the boot sole, just
flexes, and the ski flattens, making it impossibel to hold edges on the
skis!

Examining it, i found that i can flex the adjustable lower part of the sole
by hand, approx. 3 degrees in each direction!
The toe part is easier flexed than the heel part.

Bringing it back to the dealer, he claims, after several days of
examination, that it is not possibel to secure the adjustable part of the
sole any further.

He brought it up with the nordic distributer, and they in common examined 3
other pairs, that exibited exact same behavior.

Does anyone have equal experiences?

I've been using these boots for 3 seasons - I bought them because I
skied knock-kneed and was always on my inside edges. The boots really
helped, and I didn't have the problem you're experiencing, but after
about a year the ski shop I bought them from called me. There had
apparently been problems with the stability of the boot sole, and
Dalbello had told dealers to correct the problem by permanently fixing
the sole in one position by using longer bolts (so re-adjusting is no
longer possible).
