Agree on Intuition liner being best, but likely most expensive choice. Do you have a local shoe repair place, they often have shoe stretchers that can apply a lot of force to stretch tech out a liner. With some heat from a heat gun they should lengthen quite a bit. As suggestsed above, if that doesn...

I’ve been taking care of bad feet for 20 years as a Pedorthist- IF you have a high arched foot that is on the stiff side it is inherently unbalance towards ankle sprains and will benefit from a footbed with a slightly higher outside heel and a divot for the first metatarsal head. Also , post ankle i...

Fixed heel 75mm.

Tell us more about binding please!

Hello @sheep, because you mentioned custom boots, and you mentioned cold conditions, along with an unusual foot shape, I am offering an outside the box solution. It incorporates a moldable liner that allows for custom fitting, along with additional warmth. In North America Intuition liners are easy...

If it the top of your midfoot that is the problem, try a skip lace technique- see photo here-

Forgot, Alpina bring back the BC 2000 in Xplore, that was a great boot!

The Xplore is a great concept, can you bring us Xplore V2? Add easily transition from flexor to free pivot with a simple switch like a Voile switchback. Add a similar easy transition of flexor hardness. Add a cable option. Get a boot manufacturer to make an Xplore Excursion. With these ther would be...

If I had the funds and time, I’d find an old Excursion and buy the cheapest Xplore boot I could find. Then I’d rip the front sole off both boots and then bolt front half of the Xplore sole to the Excursion.

Pretty sure Voile uses Nylon, possibly with fiber reinforcement for most of their plastic parts.

Agree on Excursion as wider than T4/3. An intuition liner like posted above can be heat molded really thin. I think you would be way better off with an Excursion with a wide ski like Hoks. Also agree about turn ability of Hoks. I have its predecessor from Karhu and the permanent skin is really grabb...
