I'm interested in how you like the Basis boots. I think you will find they are very comfortable. After watching the guys that have the old style wrap around ( animal type ) struggle at the back of the boat I noticed I don't have this issue. Mine are like a pair of soft socks.

The red/black boots are Attack boots. I am not entirely sure HO carries these anymore. They may, I just haven't seen them on the site. So the black/red Triumph ski with the red/black attack boots are my preferred set up for now.

The basis boots sit on the 71" triumph and I can't slog around the course on that ski. I guess I probably could, it just isn't the best wake crossing shape. Hope that helps. Let me know what you think of the boots when you get 'em.
