Different more volume or different less volume?Not the one I put on my foot. No way. The heel volume is very different IMHO.

That is the #1 reason the Lange RX 130 and the Rossi Hi-Speed Pro 130 MV fit me so well is the narrow heel pocket that is synonymous with that last. If the heel pocket on the new Shadow is larger, it will not work for me, meaning I need to snap up one of the above while they're on sale right now!Not the one I put on my foot. No way.

I bought a backup RX 130 for $250. Regardless, it will come in handy just for the liner alone.That is the #1 reason the Lange RX 130 and the Rossi Hi-Speed Pro 130 MV fit me so well is the narrow heel pocket that is synonymous with that last.

Dammit!More.
I agree. If Lange has changed the fit, I will have to look elsewhere. Luckily, the Rossignol boots are built on the same last as the RX.I saw a video where someone was saying the same thing as marko. I find it very strange that Lange would mess that much with their fit as there are a lot of fanboi's like myself who won't even look at another boot because I like their fit.
I haven't tried the Shadow so maybe there is a good reason they changed things up so much, but I'm glad I have a backup RX just in case.

Interesting. The Blister review says ...More.

Update 1.26.23: Lange told us that the fit of the Shadow is quite similar overall to the Lange RX / RS mold, but the Shadow has a slightly lower-volume heel pocket (reportedly similar to the original RX / RS), and the Shadow features 1 mm more room around the navicular area.
These traits would both be ideal for me but a higher volume heel pocket would definitely not.
This would be PERFECT for me!!Interesting. The Blister review says ...

Maybe the liner is plusher or thinner.Weird.. i wonder if i put on some sort of prototype?
The liner seemed similar to an XTC3 liner. I did a shell fit, and know the RX and RS boots well. The LV Shadow was in my observation, higher volume than the LV RX.Maybe the liner is plusher or thinner.
I can't wait to hear when you get a hold of one and any thoughts on what they did with the fit (if anything). I don't doubt @markojp and yet there are reports of different tweaks. Wonder if there were prototypes out there, etcI was hoping to get a Shadow for reviewing but there are no 25.5's yet. The cuff is very interesting and the liner has some neat fit features.
Not sure I understand this. I would think a gain in leverage over the shovel would make it feel shorter, not longer. Maybe you mean that the front of the ski felt more planted and stable, like a longer ski would?On snow I immediately felt like my ski was 5” longer in front of the toe - so it works! What I gained in front pressure
