Greg McCandless's review

I own the men's version in the stiffest flex and can tell you (as many other reviews do) that Dalbello's flex ratings are off by about 15. What this means is this top of the line, highly adjustable, extraordinarily comfortable 85-flex boot is actually more of a beginner and intermediate boot than the number shows. It is very rare to get all the bells and whistles of a pro level boot in a soft, agreeable flex, so snatch these up if you want to get one pair of boots that can grow with you (even if you end up shredding)! I've had my Panterras for 6 years and have no plans of upgrading - there is nothing to upgrade to!
