Dynafit Ridge Pro Boot
While many boot manufacturers proudly stamp "130" on the side of their touring boots, it is no secret that many of these fall short of their alpine brethren that sport a similar number. With the Ridge Pro boot, Dynafit talks the talk and skins the skin track by providing a boot with exceptional walking mannerisms and burly downhill performance. At the heart of the Ridge Pro is the Hoji Walk mechanism, developed by Eric Hjorleifson himself, which virtually eliminates any cuff play that is found in many of its competitors. When combined with the carbon-reinforced cuff, the Ridge Pro offers a stout descending platform that can easily drive many skis through variable conditions. As with all boots equipped with the Hoji Walk mechanism, the Ridge Pro is quick to transition, making you the envy of your friends with clunkier, four-buckle boots. Featuring a novel Floating Tongue design, the Ridge Pro boasts an excellent range of motion that makes big days feel less big and more fun. Finally, the Ridge Pro uses the tried and true Dynafit Twistfit closure system that conforms to a variety of insteps, allowing you to achieve your ideal fit. Whether the day calls for charging a single lap before work or doing a 10K day, the Ridge Pro is always up for the adventure.

Questions & Reviews
They are on the medium-wider side, but not as wide and high volume as the Radical Pro. However, they have a very cool floating tongue design that will allow the volume to adapt well to various different feet. It would be worth trying them on if you fit into one of the sizes that we are expecting.
Similar to fit, what's it feel like?
The Ridge is higher volume than the Skorpius, and wider in the heel/midfoot. It is more similar to the Backland XTD, which is a wider and higher volume boot. But the floating tongue does allow you to decrease the volume a little more effectively than on the Backland. So I think it could accommodate a wider range of feet on the lower end.
