Dynafit Boots - removable tongue

Wow!  I have one pair of modern skis and boots (tele) not counting the old, decrepit stuff, and two variants of meadow skipper XC (plus/minus metal edges).  Choosing what gear for the day is not a challenge at least.  Sadly lacking in diversity compared to the AT/Dynafit palette. A veritable smorgasbord of boots and skis.  Jealous.

I have one pair of 3 pin boots & skis left that I can use; I got rid of Asolo Extremes, brown t-3, black t-3, origin t-2, blue t-2, and most of the skis, I kept a few

When in doubt - ask here.   Appreciate the input.

Randy - where did you buy your boots?  Haven't seen them in the shops

I ordered mine last Feb from Telemark-Pyrenees.com they are in France. Shipping was 30 euros

Skimo.co sells them in the states  I don't know if any local shops the sell La-Sportiva skimo type boots.

I generally have few problems with boot fit, so ordering online has worked for me.   Most online retailers have generous return policies, especially for issues like fit. So one could order a pair (or several) try em on at home and return them or exchange them if they don't fit.

I've baked my own liners since thermofits became a thing.  The rice in a sock method is the most foolproof.   The Syborg liners are so nice though they hardly need fitting.

I have the TLT6Ps and I find the tongues make a big enough difference to warrant popping them in every time. They make the initial shin resistance occur sooner, and provide a more progressive flex overall. I usually leave them off at the beginning of the day, and then leave them in if we're lapping a skin track. If you leave the power strap off, or put it behind the top of the tongue, you won't notice the difference nearly as much when skinning up a well built track. If we're doing a circuitous tour, I'll generally take them out for the up every time. Fiddly, yes, but it works significantly better in each configuration. Hopefully somebody comes up with a better system soon, as I'm due for new boots next year.
