~100mm last boots medium flex

I am retiring my 4 season old rossignol bsquads seeing as they are worn out, missing a buckle and don't fit so well anymore.

very rough measurements:
mid-foot height is about 6cm, width at toe base/sixth toe is about 101mm, length is 28-28.5 depending on the foot. I have quite a low arch and it gets lower when I weight my feet because they roll slightly inwards.

I tried on some atomic overloads, which felt a little to roomy all around the fore foot in a 28.5 and a 29.0 ft conflict which was a tad long and super uncomfortable on the overlap on my calf but otherwise felt quite good.

I am making a shortlist of boots to look for at the turkey sale in whistler, so they obviously dont need to perfectly match my specs. but I will only have a day to make my decision so i want as much time as possible in boots that are close instead of burning time trying to find something to try on.

so far I'm looking for:
Atomic Volts
Atomic trackers
Lange XT 120s
Rossi experience 120s
nordica hell and backs
Nordica ace of spades

what else should i add to my list?

Obviously.......boot fitter.

But take a look at the whole Nordica line 3 piece lineup. They flex surprisingly stiff and the 100 last has extra room in the big toe.

Thanks for the tip. I hope it was clear enough in the first post that this isn't so I can buy boots online, I will obviously try all of these on IRL. It works out much better to have a plan going into something as hectic as the turkey sale, a list of boots to try really helps with the planning =).

For this season, the Volt no longer exists so look at the Burner series (same mold as the Volt) which is available in 130, 110, and 90 flexes.

Burner and Tracker are built around a 98mm last so if you are looking for 100mm boots, look to our Hawx series which is available in 120-80 flexes.

using my at home boot fitting program i actually used you measurements and made a 3 d diagram of your foot, check it,Click for larger image

that being said, you should probably check out the salomon crossmax 120. the whole lower cuff is heat-moldable.

haha im just playin meng :), but in all ceralness, just go to a boot fitter, even with measurements no ones gonna see your foot, I'm not gonna draw it on a piece of paper and i think most people on here aren't gonna draw it either. unless you wanna cut off your leg and send it to me, go to your local shop and get taken care of.

Also, might not be a bad idea to call and tell a little white lie, like hey i have pretty messed up feet, can i schedule an appointment to be boot fitted sometime this week. and they give you the best boot fitter they got, at least that's what we do at my shop. Good luck my friend, hope you find something you like!

And don't forget to add a footbed/insole. Can make a big difference, especially for a low arch.

you don't really need to see my foot to suggest boots with rough dimensions. Like I said, I don't want people to fit boots for me over the internet, I'm making a list so I can quickly go through it once I get to whistler to find the boot that will take the least amount of work to properly fit my foot.

OP I bought the atomic tracker 100 last year and was great at work and on snowmobiles (Im a lifty) but When I wanted the high speed charging the boot did not feel stiff enough.
 I even had some old lange 90s flex and they felt stiffer. I saw that they are coming out with a 110 Tracker. That might be stiff enough for you. but make note that the materials in the old tracker series is softer. Meaning wears out faster as well. Not sure on the newer boots.
Also my free ride buckel broke within one season. I got a the boots fully replaced but I am deftly looking for a stiffer charger style boot for days of just skiing.
Oh and the soles on the tracker are soft and will get chewd up on snowmobiles.

Dont even bother making a list of boots, you will be far better off just getting a boot fitter to make a short list of boots for you.

If your coming to whistler come see me in the salomon shop. I sell only atomic and salomon so if you dont fit either of those I can recomend where to go to buy the right boots. You can then come back and ill fit them for you.

Custom footbeds are a must by the way, and we will be making the best footbeds in whistler this season, so just come say hello when you get to town, and we will spend some time getting you in the best boot possible.

Thanks for picking up a pair of Trackers, that's rad!

For 12/13, all of the Tracker models are stiffer, and noticeably so. For starters, they all have a new cuff shape that engages the shell faster (tighter interface between bottom of cuff and shell) and the material hardness was increased. Those two improvements will yield a MUCH stiffer Tracker series for 12/13.

Also new for 12/13, we are using genuine Skywalk Rubber on our soles. This will make the more durable (no chipping) and also provide more traction on different surfaces.
