This isn’t truly a review as I’ve only carpet tested them, but since it’s a new boot, thought the information would be useful. I have a narrow, low volume foot. Over the past number of years, I’ve skied in the Scarpa Alien RS, F1 LT, and F1 GT. In each of these, the fit has been ok but I’ve needed to shim beneath my footbed. I’ve also struggled with adequate heel hold and needed to add padding to my liners in the ankle area to feel locked in. After skiing in light boots for years, I wanted to try someth...

I’m looking to replace an older pair of ATKs that has the rectangular toe mount pattern with the Haute Route Plus. I assume that the two front holes of this new pattern can go in my old holes. Will there be enough distance from my old back holes to drill the two new back holes?
