Budget Boot for Expert Skier

[Near Nyquist]

Good stuff, any thoughts about the CS Redster? Another bootfitter brought up how it had a narrow heel area.

We unfortunately do not carry atomic
From a few of @KingGrump 22.5 boots that I have personally inspected the pocket looks tighter
The head raptor WCR in 22.5 also looks pretty good

but again if what ya got is working
Don’t mess with it

If you are looking for a narrow boot in the Atomic line. Check out the Atomic STI 110. It's much narrower than the CS model.

Absolutely! Just something to consider when my wife's boots need replacing. Thanks for the insights all!

Now back to the scheduled topic of ...what was the topic of this thread?

Don't forget the hand wringing and self-validation! We need to work on those if we're going to milk this baby through October!

I still have not purchased touring skis for powder.

America’s Best Bootfitters has the best reviews out there for boots, IMO. Not quite on the same level as what you describe for running shoes, but great high-level feedback describing fit and performance of boots.

I thought these reviews usually come out late August/early September, but I don’t see that the site has been updated since 22/23. Does anyone know if the site will be active for 23/24?
