Thank! Will have them cooked at my local ski shop!

Thanks. Just to clarify, these are the hawx touring boots and the stock liners are rather thin. Do you think I would be able to break in the 12mm liners after a few days?

I have a pair of Atomic Hawx Ultra 130 from circa 2018, with the original flimsy thin liners. They have been completely packed out over the years and my right foot is hurting in the bridge area, at the base of the tongue, basically. It hurts more on the uphill than downhill. My local boot fitter suggested replacing the liners. I wonder what thickness would you recommend? The boots are 25.5 mondo. The original liners fit snugly. Not too tight and not too loose. I’ve been wearing socks of medium thickness, on...

I am getting a new setup optimized for performance, not weight, although I would avoid weight that is unnecessary. I have a lightweight setup when I need to go light and fast.

In addition to kingpin, I have skied Dynafit radicals and atomic Shifts, but not on the same skis. I’m optimizing the performance, not the weight. But I also don’t need unnecessary weight. Would you say a pair of tech bindings like Radicals would give me similar performance as Shift or Kingpin? I’m a decent skier, ...
