 Poster: A snowHead

Just wanted some input on flex?
Tried a pair of Salomon X Max on, and I have mega wide last, and to be honest they fit really well around the heel & everywhere - they will need blowing out though!
I just want some feedback on flex, I have some Atomic CS 110's at the moment, but on last legs!!!

Maybe pick up the 120... personally think the salomons feel like they flex a little more than the old atomics. I know someone will come say that all ski boot flexes are measured the same but to me (and alot of others) they don't feel it...

agree with Dan re the sizing, i buy a uk 11 shoe, measure 28.5 and a bit and the 27.5 feels just fine...(yes 27.5 as in used to be marked up as a uk 8 1/2!!!)
as for flex, probably the 120, they do feel quite soft in store but stiffen up a fair bit in the cold

roche1800, It's a full Custom Shell, the seller should do all the fitting needed for this product for free.

CH2O, yes I know, one reason why I believe it can be adapted to suit my last.

roche1800, Given the "spec" i'd take a look at the Lange RX 130/1230/110.

Yep the new boots from Annecy have a diffrent internal toe box and shape and are definatley roomier on the inside. You have been warned. The 120 and 130 are both great boots, plus if you take the bolt out at the back you can adjust the flex on both down if required.

Fattes13, Yeah, we're all fitted super precise in our boots and this season across the board are dropping 1 full size to use the new max range.

You know it makes sense.

I will be looking out for some X Max 120 in March when they are reduced, so if anyone sees them in a sale, then please drop me a line!!!!

sorry to say it but i think they might be a bit big... do a shell check and see how much space there is behind the heel
good luck
