Boot Weight

My Head alpine liner works like a charm in my Endorphins, that with a little forefoot shell stretch makes for a terrific fit.. We'll see how long they last...the lower weight and walk-mode are really good enough for me...can't argue with the climbing Vibram, have some Dukes but also have the Solly STH 16s...which are simply the best skiing clamps I've ever had my boots/feet in, not to mention lighter...which I think would be the nicest on the wider pow/crud skis. With the walk-mode I don't think the Trekkers would seem half the battle they are with no walk-mode.
BTW riverc0il...I did the online buy/return-thing with Zzeros but Not the carbons(sigh), nice but Dynafit's last is just too narrow for me however I DID like their liner's design, ordered a pair..due to arrive in a week or so...a little less material than the G-Fits...especially around heel area...seems like they'd fit a wider forefoot easier...and had more of an alpine design & feel to them...really like them.
The AT-tongue is a marketplace...most boots now come with two(except Endorphins [and Adrenalins??]...but mine seem fine for me), but most Raichle-style tongues will fit without much problem...adding a little more stiffness if desired.

This is my 4th season on the same Adrenlins.

Second set of liners. No heel play at all. NEVER crank my buckles down.

You need a better boot fitter.

And all it proves is that different things work for different people.

Hi JimG...
Those G-Fits just seemed to add bulk in places where my feet didn't appreciate it... Love the Dynafits...as well as my non-bulky alpine liners.

Kind of went off didn't I?

I assume you tried those G-fits on out of the box. Pretty uncomfortable until you heat them and get the thermal fit.

My Adrenalins were extremely tight until I had them fitted.

So I guess now I understand where you were coming from.
