25/26 season review
At 6.5/10 it's a notch stiffer than medium — an all-mountain boot that backs you up on carves and at speed without feeling like a handful. Heel hold is good and it's easy to adjust, so it's comfortable to wear every day.
It supported the reviewer better than their usual boots, letting them lean further into fast carves. Best matched with boards around 5–7/10 stiffness.
