Update #2: Against my better judgment I got another pair of these boots. I liked their fit (after modifications) too much I guess and wanted to believe the first pair was just a lemon. This is the picture of the right one after less than 10 days of use. Funny enough, I've developed a spur on my left inner ankle since and had to have the left shell punched close to the area where these cracks occur. No breakage on that boot but, as I said, I didn't use them much over the bad last winter. That's enough of A...

How does the sizing and fit of these compare to the Skorpius CR? Would punching them void the warranty? TIA

Is it possible to replace Gara Titan WC titanium U-springs with the 4 mm or 4.5 mm steel ones to decrease the bindings' vertical release value?

What is the approximate release value of the titanium (wc) U-springs?

Thanks for the info, jbo. I was wandering about the pin flap. The thing is, I've had some mixed experience with Plum and I really like the Trab toe piece. And as said, I don't care much about the brakes at this point. I'll most likely just go with the no-brake version and add brakes in the future if it becomes a necessity.
