i can't comment on the foil boots, but i have a pair of beast 10 04/05, and they are slightly heavier than my atomic boots, not by much. the beast 10 for me were real comfortable. i buckle tight the top two buckles when skiing around the mountain, and have them real loose when in the park. i find that it gives a softer flex. anyway try them on. i am a size 8 regular shoes, but boot size 26, was way too tight. 26.5 fit perfect. on the other hand the atomics boots I have are 26 and fit perfect. good luck.

I ski the beast 12 and it is super comfy and has a good flex for everything you would want to do in it. I had X-wave 7's before that and I like the Nordica A LOT better.

nordica and salomon both have wider foot bed, it all depends on your foot

You can not compare a Beast 12 to a Xwaxe 7.0. The 7 is a true interemediate boot with a crappy liner. The Beast 12 is a great boot not going to argue that at all, I love the fit and flex, but if you are going to copare you need to go more to the XWave 10.0 for comaprison which is a tad stiffer than the Nordica, but has a liner that lasts longer. The Beast 12 is pretty much a Diablo Magnesium. Tecnica owns Nordica.

Honestly when it comes down to boots. Try them both on and figure out which fits your foot the best and make sure a shell fit is done so that after 2 days of skiing your boot you realize it is a size or 2 too big. Remeber when trying on new boots that they stretch 5-8mm with in the first 10 days of skiing them. That is around 1/2 - 3/4 of a size. Something to consider.

I think he was talking about the Foil, not the Gun boot. The Gun is not a wide boot like the Foil or Nordica. The Gun is made more for a b/c width foot and the boot sole length is a mm shorter since it is based off the Course Race shell and not the Xwave shell of the Foil.
