I did some searching on this and found nothing. I am looking for new boots for this upcoming season I ski park most of the time so I want a soft-medium flexing boot. I have pretty slim feet and there is only one real ski shop that only sells Dalbello boots in town so I will probably go to other stores in the interior to see a good bootfitter. I have a pair of langes right now which fit alright but what else is there?

My question then is what boots have you guys found to have a slim fit? Technica, Lange, Solly (heard they fit wide), Rossi ect? I would like to know so I can go to a store that sells whatever brand I might have succsess with. Price isnt really a problem so if anyone could help that would be geat!

spks are super wide. you should go try on any boot before you buy it but from what ive heard full tilts fit really narrow try a pair on and see how it fits.

I have a race fit and prefer Sollys.  Falcon 9s(90) 10s(110) and CS Pros(120s) are all the tightest Solly fit boots.  Ghosts have the same labeled last, but why get 2 buckles that are massive over 4 super lightweight buckles? also I felt like I had a ton more unwanted heal lift in the Ghosts.  I did not get to try Lange Comp 130s which were another one I was looking at, but found Banshee Pros to have a massive toe box and wider throughout with more inside curve(felt loose and soft to me..).  Technicas boots labeled 98 have a bigger heel and are wider throughout than the Sollys.  If you are an actual race fit and fit alright in Langes, do not get Technicas.  Rossi 120s felt second best to me with a similar fit as Sollys but didn't wrap around my upper legs as well(less even throughout).  Remember, whatever you get (especially Sollys) you have to get intuitions for them to make them there best).  So I would say get one of those if they fit.  Guns are the same shell fit in a 95 flex so if you were going to get F9s get those instead for the rubber bootboard.  If you have a race fit these are the only Sollys you should get.  Also, why get a softer boot(F9) for anything unless you are small?  Stiffer boots give soo much more control especially on take offs.
