Sounds like a nice boot. I am 106mm at 26 mondo. I recently purchased the Salomon X-Pro 130 and baked them. I have not skied them yet but they appear to fit me well. I do not know about entry/exit yet.I am very happy with Head's Advant-Edge 125. It is 102mm last in size 26 and gains approx.2mm per size increase. It has what Head calls "Easy Fit" and even with my high instep, high volume foot, it is easy to get on and off.
It also has "Form Fit" which means boot and liner can be heated in a special oven and then put on the foot (helps gain some volume).
The boot also has "Liquid Fit" which consists of a bag built into the liner on both sides of the ankle which can be filled with a non freezing liquid to take up slack when/if needed.
Absolutely! In another thread we discussed what is needed to keep/get people on the snow. I guarantee it's NOT crappy fitting boots, either by design or fitment, that provide a terrible first time experience. Whether this boot will revolutionize higher performance boot is yet to be seen but if it can "revolutionize" rental/beginner/intermediate boots, that will be a big win. We ponder Raptors, RS, Recons, plug vs. non-plug, etc. but very rarely speak about the boots that the majority of skiers are looking for: easy entry/exit, warm, and comfortable. Flex, control, and all the other things an advanced or expert skier looks for aren't even in the beginner's lexicon, let alone anything they'll care about.Whatever keeps people on the snow and (hopefully) smiling is good with me.

I hated my rental boot phase, and can get Lange RS130 on and off without too much trouble, but seeing posters like @Brian Finch and @Josh Matta talk glowingly about their high-performance three-piece Full Tilt's and Dalbello's has me wondering about my next boot purchase. Why don't rental boots use the well-established three-piece/cabrio design to encourage beginners to keep skiing? Wouldn't a fairly snug cabrio boots be as easy for them to put on as a three-sizes-too-large overlap two-piece design?Absolutely!

So, I'll take the wait-and-see attitude. Maybe this will surprise.

Very true...then you get into payment terms....240 day terms are better than 180 day terms.Because they cost more to manufacture than a standard overlap boot.
This cost is passed on to the rental fleet purchaser.
So when you are buying over 1000 boots to replace a portion of your rental fleet the costs add up.
Funny thing Dalbello is the largest rental boot fleet provider in my area, wonder why ?
The Grilamid shell features carefully engineered cutouts eliminating pressure points

At some point they start nailing things on to one of their wooden lasts that comes close to your scan. Then the boot is formed around that. Go to the flip book on their site and you'll see the lasts.
Sold at Gorsuch.
