These boots are warm, and I normally suffer with cold feet in my snowboard boots, but they do not have removable liners. I have a pair of heavy old leather double boots that offer more support. The ankle support is there, but the uppers are not super tall, nor are they stiff. I have managed to get get better fit with selective lacing using the surgeon's knot to lock in the heel, but still have some movement. Nothing causing major issues during K&G, but noticeable in a deeper telemark position. There is a bit of toe pinch due to the internal plastic toe cap. I normally wear size 9US shoes and have the BCX GT in 42. I have thick Sole brand insoles in mine to take up the volume. I got bad blister from slippage the first time that I used them. The front of the boot is just wide enough to be comfortable, but I find the heel hold to be an issue. I have pretty wide, low volume feet with small heels. There are, as always, some good and some and bad points. The laces seem more convenient on the BCX GT. Which one is better for K&G or offers more support for downhill? The collar on the OTX Adventure BC looks nice for ankle support. Their constructions are quite different, but yet, I don't really understand how different they ski. Also better K&G is appealing.īoots: Still not decided between the Fischer BCX Grand Tour and the Fischer OTX Adventure BC. We were first tempted by the S-Bound 98, but they seem to be a bit soft for trail breaking. Skis don't need to be downhill oriented, but descents need to be survivable!īindings: NNN-BC, easy choice since there is nothing available in 3 pins where we are located. Looking for a set-up for rolling/hilly terrain (alpine valleys and mellow glaciers) in deep powder to variable snow. Little background info: we already own alpine, AT, classic and skate skis. After spending several hours reading various reviews and topics in this forum, my partner and I have decide to purchase our fist XCD équipements.
