What Boot Is This?

As y’all know I’m looking for 75mm boots. These are interesting with what looks like some kind of carbon-fiber layup. The holes have a bit of expansion as you can see in the second picture. Is that acceptable?

I bought my t1's with the 3pin holes pretty much ruined worse than that (the price was right), I had no intention of running them with the pins anyways. Interesting boots, t2s?

These are the first generation T-Race, with the very not-ergonomic bellows. They might work for some people -- Craig Gordon from UT Avy, for example -- but a lot of people (myself included) lost toenails in them. For subsequent generations, Scarpa changed the geometry of the bellows to flex in a way that matches more people's feet.

If you think they will work with your feet, I wouldn't worry about the elongated pin holes. You don't want to use them in a cable-less 3-pin binding anyway.
