No luck. The response I got was basically that it's a racing boot and not built for that kind of activity. The response from the shop didn't say exactly who made that determination and it seemed a bit off mark to me so I'm going to contact Dynafit NA directly this week about it. I feel the same way too though, too much money for the boot to only last two days. T-bob Paul,

Those boots are a little too expensive to only last for two days. @T-Bob: Just return your boots to Dynafit and let them deal with the issue.

I've got 2 days on mine; one skinning in the morning then riding the lifts in the afternoon , all at a ski area, then a second day hiking up Mt. Grizzly looking for the East Couloir conditions. Nothing skiable. The hike was about 6 miles total, even thirds dirt trail, packed snow, and very mellow rock trail. Whole lugs sheared off the souls which eventually caused me to fall all over the place. This in turn seriously scared up the plastic where it meets the sole. My old F1 races have 3 years and significantly more use to include a good deal of full on rock scrambling and long hikes through deadfall forests to get to the goods. Am I expecting too much of the PDGs? Also, who do you folks trust to resole this type of boot? Preferably with a quick turn-around and here in Colorado.

The new two position foward lean mechanism for the TLT5 will be available as a spare part later this year.
