Right next to it actually. Hard to get a shot that shows the full effect but you can still see the mark the bootfitter used to target the punch. Maybe 2-3mm at most....

I think it depends on the exact location and how much you need but I have punches in both heels of my XTDs for Hagelunds so it is at least theoretically possible.

Still noticeable if I get...

Greg is such an experienced and high quality bootfitter that his shop charges a premium to get fit by him specifically. The fitting itself takes the normal amount of time, three weeks is the current...

I'm a bit surprised you downsized like that in a touring boot but if you keep the third buckle locked, you'll lose some ROM (which is unfortunate in an XTD) bit it'll help keep your toes back.

I realized my last post was a touch ambiguous. To clarify, both shell and liner got heat molded out of the box.

My current working theory is that it took about a dozen days in the boots to pack...

Boot and liner right out of the box.

Should add that I have a pair of travel dryers (mostly airflow, barely any heat and only in the toes) but have never used any of the stand-up heaters that...

Fascinating, this just started happening to my XTDs with Mimics after about 15 days of use.
