+summawub The flex of the boot is very subjective making it difficult to give a real cut and dry answer as to what flex a skier should be in without all of the necessary information. Factors like the weight and height of the skier are the starting points, but you also need to consider how aggressive the skier is, what skis they ski on, what their ability level is, and what is the preferred terrain are all factors in determining flex. Also the type of plastic that the boot is made out of is a factor as well. There is no industry standard as to what a given number flex that boot is. If you would like to give me that information about you and your skiing, I can offer up suggestions as to what flex boot you can ski in, I would love to help.
@@skisdotcom hey thanks for the info. I'm 240lbs 5'9". Advanced begginer usually rent skis. I'd like to buy my own pair of boots and skiis what do you recommend. Interested in the dallbello mx ds 90 is this a good boot for me?
@@Sokeresa Without being able to see the shape of your foot, it is difficult for me to tell on the length or width, but a 90 seems right based on your weight. You should notice more control and responsiveness with a stiffer boot than a rental.
Very well-done and comprehensive vid, thanks for posting it 👍🏽
I’m not sure, but I think his name is Adam and he might be a product specialist here at Skis.com
Make no mistake, boots are by far the most important piece of equipment. I spend more on boots than all of my other equipment combined.
It would help a lot if you actually referenced range of numbers when talking about flex i.e. 70 vs 100.

Is up a level in flex more stiff or more flexibile?
Moving up a level in flex means that you are going into a stiffer boot.
