Check out my weird small feet. Sent in via the QR code - MW initials.
Fairly wide (especially the right) and high for their length is what I've been told. Scans seem a bit short based on what I've heard before. Always wear a 24.5 boot with a Surefoot insole and that normally give me a 1.5 finger fit (smallish hands).
Currently in a 2017 Tecnica Mach 1 MV 130 and a 2018 Cochise 130. Instep is a bit tight on both and the Cochise needed a decent punch on the outside of the right boot to be wearable. As the liner on the Mach1 has packed out there is a tiny bit of looseness everywhere in the boot which means tightening of buckles for performance which exacerbates the instep issue; thinking I probably should have gone LV and ground the boot board a bit and done some serious punching on the right foot. Thinking I may add an intuition to take up some volume and grind the boot board down a touch. Sounds like the newest version has slimmed up the internal shape a bunch but not sure I really want to get 2 new pairs of boots this year. Thoughts?
Im looking to get a dedicated touring boot this winter. 130ish flex - thinking Zero G with some punching to the right foot not sure about the instep though. I tired the first year (2018?) Atomic XTD Ultra and it was way too tight over the instep and width wise, not sure if the shell fit would have done enough. Also not sure if they have modified the internal shape since then or if the Prime would be a better option?
Any and all thoughts/ideas appreciated. Thanks
