First, as someone who has had every generation, the version after that was much improved. Plus no sole swapping necessary.

Second, what did you move on to? Just curious...

I have qst pro 130 now, it skis ok but not nearly as good as my old full tilts. In my case, I don't want walk mode. It will brake or come very loose with proper resort/sidecountry abuse. All the moving parts brake eventually.

The walk mode on the Quest boots is a joke. It supposedly allow for a little more dorsi-flexion but I forgot to lock it a few times and really couldn't tell a difference unless I go way in the back seat.

Yeah it's not the best, but does it's job. Only gives possibility for boot to move back, not forward. It's my touring boot and so far I have been satisfied with it(about 100 touring days). It skis good enough and fit is perfect. But I miss real boot for short days and rare lift skiing days.

I have been using my 2018 k2 pinnacle 130lv with my cast setup. I really like that the boot has an intuition liner. I thought that they fixed their issues with he walk mode latch but I don't think that is the case. My boot freezes up when which means that I cannot put it back into ski mode. The pin is also breaking so my boot is about to explode
