![]() Way good improvement, but of course different fit for different people. ![]() I never knew I had this problem, but others noticed a major improvement in fluidity almost immediately. I also learned fast that the too-stiff-for-me Salomon made me ski different, and I'd just bounce off the fronts to initiate a turn, whereas now I smoothly pressure the boot as needed. They also have an effective flex adjustment so I can bump it up a notch in springtime when the shell flexes easier, and the sizing at the top is perfect for my size calf. So, the happy ending to this story is that I went back to Fanatyko in December and now have some Lange Concept 95's (103mm fore foot) that fit like a glove (they should, they're one size too small so they've packed out perfectly). Also, I have a double EE foot, and the Saly wasn't made for such a device. Also - I have skinny calves, and the X-Wave was waaayyy to big in the upper shell for me, also hindering the amount of flex I could put into the shell. Keep in mind this is my experience, and yours will, no doubt be different. I hope you've got some beef, because even after drilling out the back bolts and cutting a v -notch in the shell, they still didn't bend properly for me. They said they didn't have the right thing for me, so come back when they do - not trying to sell anything. As mentioned, they are stiff, and in fact too stiff for me, something I didn't learn until I went to a real shop (Fanatyko at Whistler) instead of a So.CT shop for the 1,000th time of trying to get them to fit right. I have two pairs of X-wave 10's (the 2nd pair after wearing out the liners in the first) in 25.5 size.
