Whats up guys just pinched between yet another gear decesion. Really digging the xpro 130s I currently have the xpro 90s just a few seasons old. Well, college and becoming a better skier happened so I need some stiffer boots. I'm really only looking into Salomon because i have them on prodeal. Just looking for input if you guys have these boots are any of this years x series. Any help would be sweet!

Sorry if this thread is hard to read, on mobile.

If the 90 fits you the 130 will work really well. However if you think you can get the xmax to work with your foot it is a much better skiing boot IMO.

you mean less flex (as it is a stiffer boot).

The shape will be the same but bear in mind that the higher quality liner will fit differently, especially at first. Why not the 120, out of curiosity?

Only because I'm 6'4 195 lbs so I feel like ill be able to flex the 120s more than I'd like.

Fair enough. I would def plan on molding the shell and liner. I have the QST Pro TR 130 and had to mold it (where as when I sampled the 120 for a few days it was fine out of the box). Whatever that’s worth to you
