I’ve got some ghosts which are pretty old now but I love the fit and was gutted when the model was discontinued. I need some new boots and was looking at the s/pro 120. The last is the same apparently (100) and I’ve found a great deal online. As the shops are all closed due to corona (inb4 see a boot fitter), I’m planning on getting them, doing a shell check and just returning them if they’re way off. Was just wondering if anybody has gone from ghosts to s/pro 120s and if they have a similar fit

Went from ghost FS 90 to S Max 120
Pretty similar sizing, s max are much lighter and obviously stiffer. Got the ankles punched out and the fit is better.

Sweet, sounds good. Did you get the same mondo size with the s/pro and did it feel pretty similar length wise?

Ghost boots came out of the X-Max mold series, not the X-Pro. They call it a "100mm" fit because the liner is thinner. It fits nothing like the X-Pro nor the S-Pro.

Would the s/max or x/max be a better fit then theoretically? Also out of interest what’s the difference between the pro and max lines?

Pro = 100mm, their medium volume last but it's still low over the instep and very wide, way wider than 100mm.
Max = 98mm, lower volume all over in comparison, especially in the toe box.

The closest thing from Salomon to your old boot will be a new S-Max, but that doesn't mean it will be the same.

You've probably heard me say it a 1000 times, but don't buy a boot online. Wait until someone can see your foot and see it inside the shell. This is how most sob stories begin.

I had a pair of ghost 90s a few years back that fitted me really damn well, my foot hasnt grown so would a x/max or s/max probably fit? I know it would be better to go to a boot fitter but thats off the table cuz of corona

Did your current boots break? Are you skiing right now? Are you going to need new boots befor next autumn, because you can probably get fitted in the autumn when bootfitters will have the best selection anyhow.

my full tilts are cracked so i would prefer to get some now because im gonna go to momentum this summer if covid blows over. even if there isnt skiing this summer id rather figure out which boots work for me because i can just order online and return them.
