Re: Lundhags Guide Explore BC Boot too tight...

Hello @sheep, because you mentioned custom boots, and you mentioned cold conditions, along with an unusual foot shape, I am offering an outside the box solution. It incorporates a moldable liner that allows for custom fitting, along with additional warmth. In North America Intuition liners are easy...

Re: Lundhags Guide Explore BC Boot too tight...

If it the top of your midfoot that is the problem, try a skip lace technique- see photo here-

Rottefella are you out there listening?

The Xplore is a great concept, can you bring us Xplore V2? Add easily transition from flexor to free pivot with a simple switch like a Voile switchback. Add a similar easy transition of flexor hardness. Add a cable option. Get a boot manufacturer to make an Xplore Excursion. With these ther would be...

Re: Prototype…

If I had the funds and time, I’d find an old Excursion and buy the cheapest Xplore boot I could find. Then I’d rip the front sole off both boots and then bolt front half of the Xplore sole to the Excursion.

Re: Mounting 3-Pin over Xplore

Pretty sure Voile uses Nylon, possibly with fiber reinforcement for most of their plastic parts.

Re: Beginner boots for Kom/Hok's

Agree on Excursion as wider than T4/3. An intuition liner like posted above can be heat molded really thin. I think you would be way better off with an Excursion with a wide ski like Hoks. Also agree about turn ability of Hoks. I have its predecessor from Karhu and the permanent skin is really grabb...

Re: Xplore Flexors — Thoughts on Standard vs Hard

I think the Xplore is a good concept but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. As said above the pins could have been larger, the pivot maybe even a little further back. But the big thing for me is the process needed to change the flexor. With a hinge and a simple lock mechanism, one could easil...
