Interesting news is the TLT 5 last used for the new TLT 6 'Six Shooter' (our term, see more below) boot is wider by a full 3 mm. This napkin sketch by Dynafit boot line designer and manager Giovanni shows the foot inside area where some of the space was added. Double hatched area is 2 mm more, single hatched area is one mm wider on that side of boot. On the other side (outside of foot), 1 millimeter was added and both will definitely help with making more room for the ball of the foot. Oh, and no more metatarsal bend. This is a boot I would kill for. Exactly what we've been begging for.

The Beast. Limited production run of under 2000. I spoke at length with one of the engineers who worked on this binding. They shared that while the rig is indeed heavy compared to minimalist tech bindings, it has 'amazingly smooth and progressive' release and retention values that exceed those of many alpine bindings. This probably due to the steel-on-steel nature of the mechanism that allows consistent release, as opposed to plastic moldings that may have more imprecision or wear and tear.
