Ok so I went to my long time shop to get some new boots tried on 12 pairs and settled on the mach1 130s now I could of gone either way with the LV or HV I went with the LV .. however im kind of worried now because I after I got home and was reading more into them I realized the LV's liners dont have the Celliant material or at least its not advertised my question is will there be a significant warmth difference? as my feet tend to run a little cold or am I just way over thinking this ? any insight is greatly appreciated and if this is a thread already my apologies ( I asked Tecnica this ? and they really didn't answer it they just said one liner is denser than the other)

If your boots fit snug and u put on ur ski socks right before you put on your boots, your feet will stay warm

I didn't find the Mach1 130 LV to be any colder than other boots, but I don't have any issues with cold feet.

If you generally struggle with cold feet, there are some things you can do. Make sure to properly dry out your boots before you ski, wear thin to medium-thick socks, and don't let your baselayers into your boots. Make sure your core and legs are warm, too. If you're still struggling, consider some heated socks.

This is a great point too, keep your socks dry and put them on with dry feet right before you boot up to go ski.

I do those things but I was just worried that where they were considered their “performance” liner that they wouldn’t be as insulating but hearing you say they aren’t colder than any other boot makes me feel better thanks for the input every one so far

I fail to see how you could potentially get a good fit in an HV if you fit a LV.

I currently own a pair of tecnica mach 1 130 lv too and after a full season ski bummin’ around British Colombia sleeping in the back of my car everyday I did not have any issues with cold feet even wearing the same wet gear from the day before! Some morning were colder than others but after 3-4 runs I was warmed up and stayed warm until the end of the day

1. Ask your bootfitter
2. If you fit in LV’s do not even THINK about getting anything of higher volume

So an Update .. I returned my boots and spent about another 3 hrs with my fitter and ended up getting the Hawx prime 130s what a difference it came down to the Hawx and speed machine they honestly both felt awesome good but in the end the Hawx just felt that little bit better glad I listened to my gut and went back .. also thanks for the replies here the advice here was good too
