A beautiful boot, but my foot is very narrow, and even though this boot is similar to Lange in being among the most narrow, I surprisingly need the equivalent of an 8.5 shoe size when I wear a size 11 in real shoes other wise. I ended up demo-ing boots at a resort, which was good, because just trying boots on was not enough to find the perfect fit compared with skiing in them. BackCountry was easy with the return of the boot, refunding my money about 4 days after I sent the boots back. I have shopped with BackCountry before, and will continue to do so!

You pretty much need to just try on a bunch of ski boots in order to find the one you like. These ended up being the ones for me. There were no spots that dug into my foot and the hold everywhere was great. They are a pretty stiff boot and also have a vibram sole which is a plus!

Love these boots! My only complaint is that I wish they were a little bit stiffer.(I think they are making a SAS120 now) They don't really feel like a 110 flex to me. But this boot does it all, it's nice and lightweight for bootpacking, its got shock absorbing cusions for impacts, which surprisingly helps more than I thought. Overall a great "do it all" boot.

These boots are fantastic. Ive been hitting the park with these puppies and even when coming down a little short on the flats from about 15ft up, my feet were still intact and not in too much pain. Basically, the impact cushion rocks. I will say that during the first few times I wore these, there were pressure points at the upper joint of the pinkey toe. However, these areas seemed to have packed out and there is no longer a problem. Its a little tough to get your feet in, but once you do, its smooth skiing. Its so flipping hard to find a good ski boot, but working with backcountry has been a great experiance.

I live in Japan and wear a 30.5cm boot so I didn't have the luxury of trying on these boots before I purchased them. Luckily, the online chat feature here at Backcountry allowed me to determined what sizes these boots were similar to. Fortunately, the fit was perfect. I just got back from 4 days in Niseko and I have ZERO complaints. I spent about 75% of my time in the park and the other 25% skiing the whole mountain. The first thing I noticed was that nothing hurt, even when I hit the jumps too fast and overshot and landed on the flats, it didn't matter, the impact cushion under the footbeds absorbed everything. I did notice these boots are bit stiffer than my old boots but I was glad to have that when I was skiing down the blacks and blues at high speed and it wasn't so much stiffer that I felt impaired in the park. Also, these things are tough, my old boots would scratch and gouge as a natural side effect of park skiing (or more likely crashing) but my boots look practically brand new. Finally, these boots are COMFORTABLE. The liner feels really thick and soft, my toes never felt cold, and after a while you can barely tell you have them on. Bottom line, I am 100% satisfied with my purchase. (side note: Japan imposes a hefty tariff on imported ski boots that I was not expecting so watch out if you're in the same situation as me)
