I am looking for feedback on Nordica Dobermann GP 130 as a "recreational race" (masters racing) boot.
The boots seem to fit me pretty well, maybe need an extra couple of millimeters of width in the forefoot. If I settle on these, I'll see a bootfitter to make adjustments. I would like to get more forward lean than the spec'ed 12 degrees. Will spoilers help?
Currently I am in Cochise 120 Dyn. The reason to replace the Cochise is mostly... hoping that having a proper "race" boot w/o walking mode would be maybe slightly better. I don't really have any specific issues with my current boots (after adding spoilers). I guess Cochise could be a bit stiffer laterally. The ankle hold is something I fiddle with a lot. After several hours of skiing the liners in Cochise seem to compact a bit.
I know I do not like the Lange/Rossi (tried, tested). I have not had a chance to try Head, Fisher or Atomic. I know I need at least 98mm wide last, and even that requires a bit of widening. Any recommendations on what else to try?
At this point in the season there's not a great (or any selection) around. Hoping to score some race boots on sale. I know, it's not the best way to go about it.
Thank you!
