My X-wave 10's are the most comfortable boot I've ever owned... If you get them heated and fitted properly, they should be awsome. I wore them around the house for a week before they touched snow, I'm sure that helped too.

I should probly add, when I got them fitted, I had to get a V cut in the back, and took one of the heel bolts out (Don't remember which one... I think it was the bottom). Together, this gives the boot a lot more flex.

Alright, using this picture I found as reference:

http://akamai.backcountrystore.com.edgesuite.net/images/items/large/SAL0436/XW10YEL.jpg


I think I simply got the rear bolt removed just above where your heel would be. I'm not 100% sure, but I THINK it was the rear bolt... I would go check, but it's cold out, my boots are in the garage, and I have an exam tomorrow... I'll try and check tomorrow after the exam and post back. I can also give some instructions on cutting the V out of them too, that made a pretty big difference...

Why dont u get the toungs modified, my mate has to have em done on avery new apir of boots he gets. Saying that a boot sucks is just personal opinon some boots dont fit some peoples feet. It sounds like you just want some sympathy cos you didn't ask how can i fix this or what boots you you out there recomend you just wanna have a bitch. Boots are personal prefference i like Lange FR boots and the 06 moddle 120 flex look great and has retained the same shape as before. Nick
