I have had success with boots in the 102 last range but still struggle finding boots that will fit my larger calves. I am currently in some Atomic Live Fits - that work well for comfort, ease of use and warmth - but I feel It is at the cost of some performance.

I plan to replace for next year - starting to look now.

Just started looking at the Atomic Hawx Magna.

Thoughts ??? Any other ideas?

Nordica Cruise 110 have worked for me. I also had luck with the Fischer Vacuum, but those boots were so cold I had to move on.

I like my Salomon QST Pro 110 in the women's version and have both wide feet and large calves.

Looking at extra large calves here, none of the ski socks or most dress socks fit
New Balance hiking shoes or Dexter dress shoes fit my EEEE feet.
Almost cried when Dexter went out of business (but stocked up on 10 pairs so
I'm set for life)

Good boot. Most are. It is still what fits YOUR foot.

I'm a size 10.5, 118 width forefoot, high arch & instep, skinny heels & ankles and large calves. I've never had a boot fit properly until Daleboot. I've been given a number refunds for boots and made 1 Top fitter cry. Daleboots are the only boot I'll ever ski !!!

I second Nordica Cruise. I used to have Atomic LiveFits and they were great until I developed a Morton's neuroma. I went to a good boot fitter and tried ~ "wider last" boots. The Cruises were a breath of fresh air. I hadn't skied all day without removing my boots in years, and now it's now big deal.
