Just a quick note to say that the last measurement mentionned is wrong. This is not a 98mm last (often found in race/advanced boots) but a true last of 103mm. It is a high volume boot suitable for broad feet and beginner/intermediate skiers (ie. 70 flex). It's more on the confort side than the performance one.

Let me preface my review with a statement that I love the quality and performance of these boots. Where I purchased this boot, I wasn't allowed to test them with a couple of runs. Even though I was trying the boots with just one pair of smart wool socks, after three days of skiing, the boots will no longer tighten enough. I switched to thicker socks and tightened the bottom latches of the boot to the last setting, and I still had wiggle room, and I'm EE width. (Yes, I turned the screw adjustments, also.) I have subsequently put in a pair of sole inserts to take up space inside, and they now fit. My warning is to try these on with just a thin pair of socks and use only the first and second tightening setting. These liners will spread more than any I have ever used. If the fit is not very tight, get a smaller size boot.

By far these are the best boots i have ever owned since i first started skiing 10 years ago. They're built so comfortable that you can just walk around all day in them and never get sore feet.Im not much of a halfpipe skier but I do park and these boots fell like they are made for anything.I even have wider feet and the boots still fell like a cushion all around my feet.Definetally worth your money.

I can't believe how there are ZERO reviews on any of the ski boot sites. I had to go it alone. Anyway I felt compelled to write this one as these boots are MINT! I tried on about seven different names including SALOMON MISSION RS 7's and IMPACT 8's, Lang Fluid 80's, Tecnica Vento 70 UltraFit's and several other Nordicas. All of em had pinch points or pressure 'bumps' ranging from minor annoyances to major discomfort.

Then I tried on these /09 Nordica Flash Ski Boots and right off the shelf they fit almost like a comfortable pair of street boots only 'chunky'. My research overlooked these boots as they are marketed on many sites as "pipe" boots and I aint riding any pipes any time soon (well... maybe). I'm an advanced intermediate (Blues and Reds) and these boots provide a nice mid flex to ski groomed trails with comfort and precision. Just as pleasurable skiing ungroomed and powder. The fact that they have shock absorption and suspension for the serious "pipe" riders landings and take offs only adds to the overall treat these boots provide.

I suggest you try em on, then leave one on as you try on all the rest on the other foot. My mistake was I tried em on last and then proceeded to backtrack my previous 'maybes' just to make sure.
