 Poster: A snowHead

I'm getting close to new boots time.
My Salomon X-waves have about 120 days in them, I do look after them, drying out with a boot dryer every night, so not urgent need yet.
I've tried on the Fischers and although it was by no means a Boot Fitting session my impression was that their shape is a good one for my foot shape.
I'd certainly use custom insoles, and have them properly fitted at The Zoo, CEM or Profeet when the time comes. I like a softish boot...or rather I should say I like a boot that has plenty of flex that flexes in a progressive way. Obviously I ski on piste often, but I do like the Off whenever conditions allow. I ski 30+ days a year.
The natural stance makes intuitive sense to me, my natural stance is not parallel feel and I do notice that my ski tips tend to splay outwards at times, I assume due to natural stance reversion on my part.
So have any snowHeads used the Fishers?
What are your experiences and suggestions?

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

rungsp, no knowledge or experience of the Fischers but think it might be worth your while to read the threads on hybrid AT boots on here from a couple of weeks or so ago

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

rungsp, I tried on a pair of the RC4 WC Pro 130 ones at S&R and found the stance interesting. I needed to line up the boots against a straight edge to really notice the difference.
I bought a pair of Nordicas also with a diverged stance in the end but have only used them for one day so far.
I would suggest visiting CEM, he can advise you on what kind of alignment changes would be best for you.

rungsp, I am well impressed with my Nordica's - IMV there's massively enhanced edge response, etc. But I wouldn't buy a pair without having skied in them.

For flex you should check out the Full Tilt at Mountain Air before you go buying anything, the flex on those boots will rock your world...
For the 'natural stance' toes I think it sounds like a good idea. I've tried on some Atomics but not skied in them years ago that felt nice. For me, if I liked the fit of the boots and the flex I would buy them at let my skiing adapt to the boot / ski interface.
See you soon?

I remember the full tilts when they were made by ???? in their original form.
My wife used to have a pair.

rungsp, exactly, Kneissal & Raichle (sp?). Exactly the same design, better colour schemes...
