I have a pair of Redsters and recently got a pair of the Hawx Ultra 115 S W GW boot to try and break myself of using only racing gear all the time. I had some issues with the fit (I think my fitted forgot a little pad he usually uses on the liner the first time), and he suggested heat molding the shell. The first time I went to use them after that (about a week later) they just totally folded over while standing in them, let alone skiing. Ratcheting the buckles down as tight as they go didn't help, and it was a little odd how easily I was able to do that as well.
Before they felt a little softer than I'm used to but definitely not this soft and now they are unskiable for me. Is this normal? FWIW The Booster strap I installed (I don't understand why Atomic doesn't use the same strap for the men's boots as the women's -- we shred too!) fell off and had to be re-riveted into the boot after the heating.
Thanks!
