BC boots size 15?

[Musk Ox]

Yes- Lundhags Guide BC- me want...

Trying to decide between it and the higher Expedition BC...

I am assuming that Lundhags "heel retention" tech keeps that inner liner from sliding on the heel?

(I also have my sites on the Juare II High for a 3-season field boot...)

Here's the Expedition BC https://www.lundhags.com/en/ski-nordic- ... 8731669582

The Expedition must be stiffer (ankle support) than the Guide, having three layers of leather up to the top of the shaft...

The 'heel retention' thingy is a sort of tensioned velcro section in the heel that stops your heels from lifting. Lundhags boots were once kind of notorious for that, apparently, I'm assuming because of the volume of the rubber shoe bit. They've really fixed it now.

Edit: Those Jaures, slurp! I really want the Vandras. And a pair of the Forests just for walking about.

I also need a custom boot, but for my wide feet. I checked the Andrew link and couldn't even find ski boots. There were two models of 75mm boots on the Lundahg site but it said they are for wire bindings. To me it sounds like they have a thinner sole than a light telemark boot. Does anyone know anything about the Lundahgs or direct me to where to find Andrews current offerings.

Hey al...

Here's the Lundhags Guide BC.

They have the same standard NNN sole as my wife's Stetinds, but seem fractionally stiffer.

I have wide feet (toes) too, and these fit me very nicely. They're really nice boots.

Thanks, but I'm a 3 pin guy. Sorry to hear about your fat feet. I wear a EEEE or H width that some companies are now making. It's the first time ever I had shoes that fit.

You are not the first here with this particular issue. Check out various threads about it by Canatonic and myself. The best solution, IMO, is a newer pair of norwegian stitch boots such as a Crispi or Andrew Rifugio (forget contacting Andrew diretly, it dies not work) and stretching the hell outta them with an appropriate boot stretch. The other best option is to buy something from Alfa, they use thw widest lasts.

As for the lundhags for wire bindings, forget them too. Those are for trekking, not for turning.

Damn, I really had my heart set on a custom pair of the St. Moritz. Before I buy new I would try to work with what I have until I run out of options.
