Head S12 Boot

Any opinions on this boot?

If your name is indicative of your feet, it is most likely too wide for you. The last is at least 100mm and it may be wider than that. Other than that it is a very good boot. I believe that Harald has put many people into it with great success. JB.

No my feet are fairly wide. My skiing stance is narrow.

I am looking for a stiff upright boot.

I think this year Head has the S13 and the S11. The S13 has a 100mm last and the S11 comes with a 103mm last (which is quite wide). The S13 is stiffer than the S11 (120 flex vs. 110 flex index). Both are upright boots as are all Head boots.

I have never been in either boot. They are much too wide for my feet. I ski in the RS 96 which is a great upright boot. Again Harald likes these boots and has seen excellent results with these for those that need a wide last.

For what it is worth, I tried on the S12 when I was at Harald's place last April, and the fit and flex was very similar to my WC M103R's. I don't know all the specs for each boot, but I know I felt very at home in them the minute I put them on.
