Summary:
Bought these last season but had many problems with strained and cramping calf muscles when out skiing in them. Had no problems in the past with ski boots. After 3 separate trips back to the shop to get footbeds inserted and the heels raised they are now very comfortable and extremely responsive.

Summary:
The fit on these boots is superb. The heat moulding takes twenty minutes and the comfort level once I put a footbed into them was fantastic. The clips dont need to be fastened too hard as the pading holds the foot so well so there's no risk of stopping the circulation in your feet. There's also a micro adjustment on the ankle buckle for those that think they need it.

This is an awesome boot not just for the park and pipe but also for all mountain including crazy steeps and waist deep pow. They're the best boot for the money.

Reviewed by: Senor ,  Advanced , from Somerset, NJ

Price Paid:  $480.00 at Sport Spot, Shrewsbu

Summary:
On my first trip with these boots, I spent the first three days working out the proper buckle adjustments. That’s a really critical process with these boots. Once I found the right settings (on the fourth day), they were as close to actually being comfortable as a ski boot can get. I found that the buckles did not need to be torqued down at all - the natural fit of the boot made it snug all around without me having to use the buckles to pull them tight. In fact, if anything, the custom form fitting of these boots discourages you from cranking the buckles down, because it puts too much pressure on your foot - there's simply not that much play inside the boot.

My feet are wide in the toes, and I have a slightly high arch. That has always been a problem for me in ski boots. But Salomon boots have a nice wide toe box, and this particular pair has enough fine adjustment ability to get a comfortable fit, even over the tops of my feet where I usually have problems.

The boots are nice and stiff, so they give you good response and control of the skis. On really cold days, I could do with a little more insulation than these boots provide, but it is at least adequate.
