Depending on how you like your Sidas liner, you can go one of two ways: if you like that rock-solid, super tight fit then ask your boot-fitter to pump in more foam than the recommended amount. If you didn't like how your Sidas fit (meaning: it was too tight, you got too cold, etc.) then go with the recommended amount of foam. Looking forward to hearing how it goes.

Yeah, now this is getting trickier. It might work to put the Hawx version into your Sportmachine, but my fear is that it won't fit correctly in the bottom of the shell since it fits a 98mm boot too. Without having done the experiment, I would unfortunately say it most likely won't work that well for you.

Matt, what's the bottom of the liner like? Standard strobel sole?

@onenerdykid - from your experience do these numbers strike you as someone with either high instep, or otherwise someone you wouldn’t recommend the Club Sport Professional to? I’m good in the lightweight touring boot department, and for a change wanted to give a heavier alpine boot a try for my daily driving. After listening to your most recent conversation with Blister it seems like the “suspension” of a 2400gr boot is what I’m after. The only problem is my feet don’t play nicely with race fit boots. I understand that the Hawx lineup would be best considering my foot, but the weight of the Hawx isn’t in that same ballpark, hence the question.
Attached is the scan data from the Fischer app:

Hey Tharmor - on the face of it, your scan doesn't look incompatible with the boot but it will come down to the skills of your boot-fitter. The combination of proper footbed, stretching & grinding, and a Mimic Professional liner + HV tongue will be the best way to ensure a high success rate with your foot + CS boot combo.

Not Matt, but you have a high instep - Verifyt and Fischer scan results are very similar, and the average for a 25.5 foot with Verifyt is something like 63mm to 68mm. Not sure about fitting the Redster CS as Matt hasn't yet sent me a pair, but a Hawx Ultra would be a good start for your foot (narrow last with relatively tall instep).

Just saw this video on the professional series which shows the foaming process in case anyone was curious like myself.

Sounds odd. It shouldn't be as tight as a traditional bottle foam liner but it should be noticeably tighter than a stock liner. The normal experience I've heard from just about everyone is just like the OP's...
Are you sure all of the steps were done correctly? Heating in the oven, toe caps, etc.? And you normally don't use a custom footbed?

I was super stoked to try these but checked Atomic's B2B in Canada today and every size BUT 27 available. Hopefully it's an error in delivery ETA's but showing 0s into next year.

ONK, Regarding footbeds. If I get a liner foamed with my current footbed and decide for whatever reason to change that footbed out at a later date is that going to be an issue?
Two examples:
One, I get foamed with an Instaprint and at a later date want to switch to something a little lower volume like a superfeet "carbon"
Two, I get foamed with a superfeet "carbon" but later want to switch to a different superfeet with the same volume but with a less aggressive arch like a "black"

With any custom-made liner, you most often want to stick with one footbed. Because Mimic Professional is molded around your foot, any change in foot position, ankle position, etc. is usually not ideal as your foot/ankle will no longer sit in the original spot that the liner was made in. Small changes are ok, but large changes (i.e. completely different thickness or level of support) would most likely cause fit issues. So, I would suggest getting the footbed that works best for you and sticking with it.

I had a pair of Mimic Professional Hawks liners foamed on Wednesday.
I’ve been in a foam liners since 1999. I’ve been through sone good foams, and some bad. I have a Surefoot line with close to 500 days on it, and is still stiff and supportive, but it’s been pulled in and out of my boot too many times and is ripping apart. I recently had a new Surefoot liner made, and was not happy with it, it was too soft and not supportive enough for what I want. So I figured I’d try the Atomics.
I’m a I’m a 27.5 wide Lange 130 Free.
I had the shop use the full amount of foam, there’s a suggested 26/27 line, and a 28/29+ line on the foam injector, and had them shoot it all for me.
It turned out pretty good, there is some excessive sticking and material above the tongue that I’ll need to cut out to accommodate my high instep, but it felt pretty good.
I skied them today, the heel hold is great, it feels like it pushed my foot forward in the boot, making it a little snugger in the toe box. Lots of material and support above/in front of my ankle to stabilize my foot, I think I just need to sort the instep/tongue area to be super happy.
I’ll give some more feedback after I ski them some more.

16 days into my set — fucking love them. That’s all. Great heel hold. Formed to my foot perfectly. I now ski with my boot on the next step on the buckles but it doesn’t cut off blood supply! Snug and perfect.

Atomic Mimic Professional Liner
Mine are great too. A little too much instep volume still, so I am waiting on the thicker “Low” Volume Tongues. Probably could have used another squirt or two due to my low volume feet, but it’s performance is still far beyond what I’ve experienced in the past (intuition liners)
Great heel hold and power transmission while providing ample room around the toes, this is my first season I haven’t gotten black toes, they fill up the volume required without pushing my foot forward or with excess foam and material around the toes. That combined with the updated shell and this is the best performance out of a boot I’ve had since a head raptor B3 RD.

I agree with all the above feedback. I put a pair along with the dual strap in a pair of Mach 1 130 LVs, I have about 15 days on them and couldn’t be happier, solid hold, snug fit with no pain.
