She got a pair of Atomic Hawx 90W in Nov 2011 and now she has a 3/4' heel lift. Now that to means she has completely packed them in 3 years as she had that last year, probably about 120 ski days but a lot of 1/2 days in there. Buckles totally cranked. Rechecked shell fit and and about 1/2" - 5/8" behind heel so not crazy shell to big.
Second guessing 20/20 hindsight might have been a too easy fit out of the box boot so thinking going to push for a narrower last plus higher performance boot so at least 100 flex. Something like a Lange XT 100 W Low Volume or Atomic Waymaker Carbon 100 but that might be a too comfie out of the box. Any suggestions?
I have broken lots of boots in my day but never packed out a boot to that degree in 100 days. Cracked shells in 1/2 of that but never totally packed out.
Is it worth going to a boot fitter to modify boots to at least getting the rest of season out of them?
