http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360183746527&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT on th market for some boots and come across these bad boys on the bay, skied in the previous model last year and really liked them, so know the boot/size is cool but will need a shop willing to fit/mould them and get some insoles any recommendations for fitting, realise that not all shops will be prepared to offer this service as i am not buying from them but guessing most shops would for a charge/purchase of inners. so can any snowheads out there recommend me a shop in or around hertfordshire/london area?

Swell, I think I have the girlie version of those, Salomon Idol and I'm finding them to be a very good boot. Mine are still very tight and I'm not sure how comfortable yet. but I've only used them twice. I'm hoping they will soon pack out enough for me to fit my footbeds in.
With regards to bootfitting, you're not that far from our very own CEM in Bicester in Oxfordshire. The only thing I'm wondering is if the ebay sellers have a returns policy in case these boots don't turn out to be suitable for you? I made the mistake of buying the wrong boots online and will now have to sell them again (before I bought the Idols through a reputable bootfitter). A shell check is essential. Again. CEM will be able to offer you professional advice.

yes they will take them back, tried this exact boot in snow and rock yesterday at hemel for reassurance think they where £280 so its a massive saving for me, would be good to hear CEM's opinion and i could definitely venture up to Bicester for fitting if available!

Swell, www.solutions4feet.com is CEMs website. Do call first as he works by appointment. He makes excellent footbeds and stocks a number of brands. As well as been a boot fitter he is a pedorthist so can really advise you on whats the best foot bed.
He can mould the liners for you too.
Be warned if the boot is not right for you there is not much a boot fitter can do with it especially if it is too big. CEM will tell you if you have the right boot for your foot shape and if it is properly sized. The shell check is the key to determining if the boot is the right size.
The impact 10 are a good boot I use them and like them. I did get some post purchase work done to them by CEM and got allignment by Andi McCann at CEM's shop.
The main modification was the addition of a Booster strap in place of the normal power strap. CEM cut the top of the shell so I could wrap this around the liner rather than the shell. This was a superb upgrade and made the boots more responsive and better fitting around the shin.
