Women’s cabrio shell type, touring boots- help?

[CascadeLuke]

I’m looking around to buy Mrs Cascade her first pair of touring boots. Asking for cabrio boot recommendations. She current skis FT Soul sisters; likes the feel and easy on/off. Emphasis on easy off. No modifications. Last year we tried a few on to see if something clicked. Lange XT F110 LV W was too tight and difficult on/off. Hawk line- maybe.

My wife isn’t a ripper but she’s advancing and pushing around some decent size skis for no bat and balls. Moderate adventures. I guess the design doesn’t need to be cabrio but that’s greatly preferred unless some miracle easy on off that doesn’t fold.

We would look to add a light 2nd option boot OR add a new badass all-arounder and dish the FT SS. Open to both ideas. TIA

Possibilities

Scarpa GEA
Lupo AX W
Roxa

Lupos rock, depending on how long range you're planning on touring.

Seems most similar to her current boot as well. Just haven’t found one to try on the few times we looked.

Mrs Skilyft was in Soul Sisters prior to her current Scarpa Freedom SL's and absolutely loves them. Going on 3 years strong (4 this year) and will not let me convince her to change them. She is short (5'2") so finding a boot with a wider volume calf area was important as her smaller stature meant moarrr calf in the boot.

While we’re at it- she’s a 24. If you have new ish touring boot to sell

Lupo’s - the end.

Any can be light without a tongue or strap.

Roxa R3ti is worth a look.

[Buster Highmen]

Roxa RX 130 slips on easily, so if she doesn't want something that stiff, there are lots of softer models.
I'm liking mine.

[CascadeLuke]

The Roxa syndicate checks in. Thanks boys, will track em down.

They have a good return policy.

FWIW...another ax120 fan. Great for those in need of 100mm[+] last.

Update: we brought in both Lupo AX110 and new Roxa R3 for her. Lame that we couldn’t try on in stores locally in Seattle. The Lupo was good but the Roxa won out by a good margin for her.
I ended up with Lupo AX120 for me and I’m stoked on them. However after handling her Roxa’s and seeing what they’re about I’m questioning..

thanks, good to hear. Looking for a boot for my better half as well:
How does the volume compare between the lupo and Roxa?
Does the Roxa come in a 22?

Lupo says 100 last and Roxa 99. My wife said the Roxa held her ankle more snuggly and locked her heel as good as her previous soul sisters - after doing a side by side. On the Lupo I had to bring in an outside intuition Dreamliner to even have a shot. Compared to Roxa right out of the box. Roxa = lower volume.
I ended up taking/introducing the Lupos to a lady ski friend with strong ability- she bought them on the spot. Lady Lupo still a fine boot.
And Roxa’s smallest is 22.
