so after 5 seasons on Lange XT 130’s it was time for a new pair of boots. I decided to go with the new dual core RX’s this time for a bit more performance and the new design. I put my BD liners in these and will ski on the boot untouched to see what I feel needs to be tweaked. So far my initial impressions are that the overall shape of this boot is improved. It’s a 97 boot however I immediately noticed more room in the toe box. For my thin ankles and Achilles this boot fits much better and although the Lange isn’t known for a low instep, this just seems to fit better on my low instep. I think the overall shape is why it seems to fit so well rather than specifically narrow or lower zones. I will most likely need a toe grind and a bit more 6th toe area but nothing much. I certainly will appreciate a slightly stiff boot since my cuffs literally rocked backwards about 5mm with the original walk mode on the old XT’s. (Yes, they are locked) Nice low profile buckles I’m not sure if I will keep the stock strap or go back to my tried and true Booster strap. More to follow
