 Poster: A snowHead
|
To complete my new light weight touring set up for next season I’m starting a search for a light pair of boot <1.35 kg . To narrow my search down would be great to have some feedback from people with wide feet and high in steps that have boots in this category,
My other issue with finding the right boots is I have small feet 24.5-25.5 max and therefore find that the stock of these sizes is limited.
The boots must also be able to fit into a shift binding as well as a standard tech binding.
My standard boot is a nordica Stryder 120 which is amazing in dh permance and more than adequate in the up for lift served and shorter day tours
I’m currently looking at
Scott super guide carbon
Fisher travers carbon
Zero g carbon
Cheers

I don't have them yet, but for the same purpose, Andy at Solutions for Feet had my lined up for a pair of the new Atomic Hawx XTD. I have held them myself and can confirm they're extremely lightweight, and definitely have Dynafit inserts etc.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@1450grams just too heavy for my purpose and they are a narrow fit , but do look like a great boot enjoy

@Dabber, Dynafit Mercury TL, same wide, high instep feet as mine maybe - fit me like a glove i'm on my second pair. Discontinued now 2015/16's still about on line, but if you can find a pair online snap them up and get a custom insole from Graham at Rivington Alpine and you're sorted. I've a pair of 27.5 for sale (second hand vgc) but no good for you obviously too big.

@dp, 98mm last , and they are described as a narrow fit on the website , i usually look for 102mm last before starting to work on them !!!
@Markymark29, @spyderjon, will have a look around , the tlt7 also fitted the bill but no good with the toe and heel on that boot

Wide boots aren't really my thing, but the 2018/19 Technical Zero G Tour Pro might fit your requirements.

@Dabber, your striders are only 2mm wider than the XTD and with a heat mouldable shell will expand our that amount easily
The Scott is probably the best of the wider fits that are out there, either the superguide or the cosmos

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I got some Scott Cosmos 3 from BackcountryUK. Only things my wide feet with high instep and orthotics could get into comfortably. Phil and Tom did a brilliant job as ever with the fitting. Relatively light too. Don't feel as robust as my old Scarpas but fit/comfort is the priority. HTH SK

I popped into your place yesterday to have a quick peep. The XTDs do look a tempting proposition. I'll drop you an email ref fit.
BTW, your guy in the shop was super helpful.

FAQ
) it doesn't have a regular toe lug meaning that it's not compatible with many non-Dynafit bindings including the Shift. It also doesn't have their Masterstep heel insert so it can't be used with their Beast binding meaning Dynafit have just $hit on every one of their Beast customers
