Rbk vs. Flexlite

[mreeves 0]

I have been fitted for a 10.5D Rbk, but no one here has the flexlite's for me to try on (bad time of year for stock, I guess).

I'm thinking of going to one of these boots as my 705 11w graf's fit fine, but are too low-cut around the ankle.

My main question is about the durability of these boots in general and in comparison to each other. Which of these boots is more durable?

I have used the search function and found mixed reviews on both. Some people have had issues with the pump, others have not? Also some people say the flexlites break down so quickly it's not funny, to the point of cutting their ankles. And some people say they feel like slippers and are quite durable?

Also if anyone could suggest a size of the flexlite boot, considering I wear an 11w graf or 10.5D Rbk?

I might buy a cheaper version of both boots, throw inline chassis on them and "test" them throughout the off-season, and then decide which way I want to go next fall.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
