I currently own the Hawx Ultra 130 alpine boot and love them! Do you think I could buy the Hawx Ultra XTD 130 and swap liners as your suggesting for the best of both worlds? Do you think that could work?

Intuition and others sell aftermarket liners, so you could get one from them in the style you desire. (For example if you have skinny ankles like me, the alpine wrap liners will add a lot of stiffenness and shock absorption).

This is a great review. It is quite likely I will purchase your recommended setup. One caveat I read is that the sole is non replaceable. Is this an issue? I tend to wear the soles out long before the boot. Thanks!

Did you ever hear anything about this? I have the same issue with the Marker Jester ID. Not enough toe height for mounting. These are fine for my touring skis but looking for something on my resort skis.

1) How much can I expect the Atomic memory fit to stretch? By baking the shells and liners, can I expect to gain appreciable width? What about length? Can the memory fit process make the boots longer, if only a little bit?

2) If the memory fit process can not make the boots longer, is there any way to do a punch just for my big toe? I expect a punch on the side of the boot for my bunion would be no problem, but what about right at the front of the boot?

As always, great rewievs. Is about to buy new boots and due to kids I doesnt want several boots, no place and all money goes to the kids snowboard addiction :). Do want a boot for most downhill (inbounds groomers) use but do want to be able to tour with it. Have tried every boot existing and the only one that really fits my feet (an seriously it fits like nothing like I experienced before, so good) is the Atomic hawx Xtd 120. But after reading blisters review and buyers guide where you place the the XTD (even the 120) as a pure touring boot I get really hesitant.

in what sense do you think the alternatives from Lange (,XT freetour) Head (Kore), Technica (cochise) etc would work better then the XTD 120 for downhill use? just standing in a shop its really hard to say anything about flex when atomics truflex makes the boots behave much like it would when its cold and langes or Technicas feels really soft forward flex wise

I absolutely love the performance of my Hawx XTD 120 boots but find them almost impossible to get my foot into them past the arch unless they are warmed up next to a heater before attempting to put them on. I actually bought a heated boot bag to keep them pliable enough during the drive to the trailhead. Has anyone else noticed this? Any tips?
