What boot am I? Replacing Salomon XPRO 120
My XPRO 120s are finally giving up the ghost. At least these ones lasted longer than one season...
What I liked about them:
-ability to swap in a tech/pin WTR sole to use with CAST bindings
-the last was reasonable for my foot. Could have been wider
-happy with the flex
What I didn't love:
-would have like a little wider last
-durability (1st 2 pairs lasted less than a season each - MEC replaced them though.)
-no longer available AFAICT
I ran them with an Intuition Plug liner to get a little more room in the toe box - lead to a little bit of heel slop but nothing I couldn't live with.
What I need:
-Boots I can wear all day 4-7 days a week, full time patrol. Fit is critical.
-CAST compatibility, willing to pay for conversion in the right boot (probably required considering the next requirement)
-NO WALK MODE
-A wide last
-A similar flex to the Salomons
I tried on the Head EDGE LYT 130 and it was a pretty good fit (104 mm last) out of the box, but the flex was super soft compared to my current boots.
I tried on a Fischer Ranger 130 Walk DYN and it was even softer than the Heads. Was a walk mode boot also.
TLDR:
What's a wide fitting, true 120 Flex, alpine boot that could be made to work with CAST?
