Still not Tactical ADV level, but really good nonetheless. On snow, that shock absorption was evident and noticeably better than the Salomon Launch I also rode that day. And the Mutiny have awesome board feel too (something the Tactical ADV aren't great for), so they have it both ways. Not quite to the Tactical ADV level - but those things are like clouds - but still really good. My stomp test, testing against my test boots (Tactical ADV) revealed really good shock absorption in these boots. I don't have particularly high arches though (even in my right foot), so someone with high arches might find this a little too tight on the tops of their feet. That was a lot better after heat molding and better again after riding. High or Low Arch: As above, there was a lot of pressure on the top of my feet (particularly my right foot - my left foot is quite flat and my right foot has a higher arch). I'm typically a 10, so I would say true-to-size bordering on running 1/2 size small. Being a softer boot, it wouldn't take as long as a stiffer boot to become the perfect fit, I would say. But after the walk from the carpark to the lift they started to feel better and after the first run, they were even better.įor testing purposes, I think the 10.5 would perhaps have been better, but I think if I was to buy them I might tough out the 10. When I got them up to the resort for testing and put them on again, I was again wondering if they were too small. Still on the snugger side of comfortable, but wearable. But after heat molding, the fit improved a lot. Thought for sure that the 10.5 would be the better bet. They felt very tight - mostly on the top of the foot but very snug for the toes too. Toes weren't squished against the end length-wise - they were just brushing, which is good, but the tops of the feet and tops of the toes were borderline.
True to Size?: When I first put these on (prior to heat molding) I didn't think they would fit me. Wider than the Salomon Launch I also rode that day, but nowhere near as wide as my test boots (Tactical ADV). Width: They felt pretty normal width-wise. But to me they definitely didn't feel even close to the 6/10 rating that they have. Initially when trying on, I thought they felt like a 3, but after riding I could get them to a 3.5, maybe bordering on a 4. Heaviest were 1320 grams and lightest were 740 grams. * Average of a sample of boots I weighed was 1006 grams, so basically bang on the average.
