In terms of narrowest & most comparable boots to the Langes, Salomons fit quite narrow, Atomic is on the narrower side and Atomic Hawx are narrow with a more similar 4 buckle design.
If I had to put together a shortlist: Hawx, Salomon Mtn Explore or last year's S/Lab MTN (this year they hacked down the cuff rotation), or La Spo Spectre.
Analisa and Jmeb, great info and thanks for sharing.
I ski Lange RS140 in 29.5 and just bought the Hawx XTD 130 in 29.5. I am a size 12.5 US shoe. I have long narrow feet and the XTD is definitely a narrow fit like the Langes. I have signinficantly less toe length and width in the XTD as compared to the RS140. BTW, I should be in a 28.5 RS140 with some toe lengthening. I got new thicker liners that made the 29.5 work really well. I tried a Lange on one foot and the Atomic on the other at home just for shits and giggles, I clicked into skis just to see the difference in feel. XTD a lot lighter, tighter in the toes, less snug around the ankle and instep. Close in stiffness, stiffness is plenty on the XTD 130. Lange, heavier, vice grip around the ankle and instep, burlier feel. When I twitch, the ski twitches too. This is how I like it.
In summary, I can tell I will loose a little downhill precision with the XTD's, but that is too be expected in my book. I also need to ski them and break them in, so take this a preliminary impressions.
I tried on this years (2019) Salomon SLab/Mtn and I liked the fit better than the XTD's. More toe room, more snug around the instep, more comfortable liner in general. A little softer in flex and more progressive. The 2019's have changed from the previous generation. It might simiply be a plastic change only, not sure. The big difference for me was the range of motion. The Slab had a hard stop on the forward lean that was my instep hitting the boot instep wall. It was non yielding. The XTD did not have this and as their spec says, gave more forward ROM. Both boots felt frictionless to me, although this is just in the store. The XTD has a very flexable liner that bends at the heel/instep very easy. The Slab was a little stiffer.
My comments to others: Primoz, get the XTD you will be happy on the up and impressed with the down on this boot. By store feel, the XTD will tour better than the SLab, but not by much.
Mister Mann: I would not buy the XTD based on what I read in your posts. It is too downhill oriented a boot to do rooling hill tours on. I presonally would step down one "notch" to the SLab/Explore or whatever is the next step down is in a touring boot for "downhill" and step up in "uphill".
I will add that the liner is a huge part of the boot "feel" along with the stiffness of the shell and the fit. For downhill, I like the vise grip clamp of my Langes with firm dense cushioning all around my foot. It is very comfortale. For touring the XTD 130 has a very flexible, lightweight liner that doesn't grip at all like the Langes, but gives very little resistance to flexing and works well with the frictionless cuff pivots on the boot. I hope there is enough comfort there for downhill skiing and touring. I am looking forward to using them very soon.
