The majority of the moldable Atomic Salomon boots we sell we do not mold as the people aee very happy with the stock fit. But molding is always a option(up to 3x)

I would highly recommend foot beds with them. The kiner does not offer support of your foot like a proper footbed. It hust moulds around the shape.
I don't really see any reason to remold the liners. They do not pack out like a normal liner. I had over 300 days in my last set. I kept transfering the liners from boot to boot as I got new shells. I would remold them, but only brcause they were going in different shells.
Not particularly wide, measures 101-102 ( guess wide enough ) more of the forefoot being on the higher side. I would always get massive pressure and pain across that area and then the toes would go numb, even when the buckles where completely off. Happened with three different pairs of boots. They put a thin pad over the forefoot while we molded and now I have no issues at all
They packed me in snow outside the shop. Kinda felt like an ass standing in snow but it worked great.
I did go through the full process, I got them end of last season at Wachusett. Dave (I think his name was Dave) did a great job.

Didn't get the ice pack but I was skiing them 5 minutes after I bought them.
They did fit good before the mold but much better afterward! Can't say enough about them. Though I'm sure there are those who will hate them as much as I love them.
I have to make a correction they were $419 after tax, I just found the receipt. Wishful thinking I guess!!

If the shop I go to to still has your size in stock (last years model) you could probably get them for the same $350 price I paid (no tax). You'd have to travel to Killington though.

http://apexskiboots.com/ anyone have experience with these? Saw a guy walking through the lodge at Bromley with boot shells in his hand, and comfy looking inserts on his feet...

that's my dilemma right there. the "best" ski shops aren't near where i live, and i don't have a home mountain so i'm less inclined to buy in a location i won't be back to should i need adjustments.
how you avoid tax? ship to home and then bring it back for the fitting? or ship an empty box while you walk out with the boots? ;-)

my wife has been skiing the apex boot for a couple of years now. They have worked very well for her as far as performance and comfort.
She has however found that when skiing in wet conditions water works its way into the liner and she ends up with very wet socks. The boot fitter sent the liners back to the factory rep who returned them saying that the he could not duplicate the issue. She now skis her old boots in wet conditions. I know of at least one other person with these boots who has also had issue with water penetration

I buy most of my equipment from the same shop & also have been purchasing a season tune for years. They never charge me tax or at least they don't add it to the purchase price. For all I know they could be absorbing the tax.
