Looking for any and all real world opinions about the Raptor 120 and RX130 LV. I tried them both on, but my shop only had the RX in one size too big. I have an extremely narrow, bony foot. The Raptor felt snug but comfortable on all sides out of the box on the left foot, but there was a hint of pressure on the top of my right. The RX also felt great, but was definitely too long. The flex of the Raptor was softer, but as I understand, I could put 2 more bolts in the back to stiffen it up. The RX felt a hair too stiff, but again I believe that can be softened by removing a bolt. My only concern with the Raptor is cold since I already have poor circulation, but maybe I can fit a thicker sock if I don't have to cram my foot in there. I ski the east on GS race skis, 6' by 150lbs, and my strong technique makes up for lack of brute strength. Finally upgrading from very old Nordica Grand Prix that are close to the stiffness of the RX 130.
