I used to say the same thing. I wear the same size boots and can tell you are setting yourself up for disaster. Once you have ruptured a patella tendon and ACL and you freak out and go into shock from being stuck next to your sled and can't move at all, seeing your lower leg pointing in an unknown, unnatural attitude, pain like you could never imagine, having your buddies have to get you out of the backcountry, your buds and wife or significant other have to go through hours and hours of getting you to the hospital, logistics with rigs, not to mention take care of you while you are healing during one of the best snow seasons on record, then maybe I hope you will see the cons outweigh the pros.
Yeah I think sooner or later the tight toe hold will catch up with you! I know 1000's of people are riding them with no issues however, I've been riding the Pro for 4 years and never did get my boot hung up what so ever until the 1st time this March!
Just the right situation I guess but it did finally happen and the result was broken bones!
