Check out the K2 B.F.C. line of boots. They check most of your boxes: not an AT boot but include a walk-mode for ease of walking, built for comfort. https://www.bootfitters.com/reviews/2017-18-k2-bfc-120
Looking at the Lange XT120LV. Anybody have these? I just want to be sure it will be a good resort boot. Using it as a downhill boot most of the time. I hear it would be more like a 110 flex compared to Lange RX120. Thanks.

Personally I have tested 3 different boots with walk modes
2019 Dalbello Panterra's, 2019 Salomon QST Pro's, and the Atomic Ultra XTD.

@brucen46 , what bindings do you have? Are you willing (able) to get new bindings?
I would stick to Alpine or Gripwalk soles.
AT soles will walk much nicer, but proper release is much more questionable, even in “AT compatible” bindings.*
WTR is the same idea as Gripwalk, but it’s the Betamax of ski soles, even Salomon/Atomic themselves have ditched it this year.

Loving all the recommendations for boots (everything from a zero G Pro to a BFC) with absolutely zero knowledge of the OPs foot or current boot, ski, size, weight, height, experience, binding, etc.... gives me hope for my new web startup: 'internethaircuts.com'.
Oh you're going to get a whole lot of replies to this... Safe to say not a good idea. I'll let an expert like @Philpug take it from here lolQuestion: If I measured my feet attributes with one of those fancy camera ski boot apps and post the results here, can someone recommend a particular boot with an appropriate volume as a starting point for fitting?
The reason I ask is because I called some ski shops and their boots are around $700! Same boot online is sometimes half the price. So I figured if I buy a closely pre-matched boot to my feet, and then get the fitting done from there?
I assume that's what most boot fitters do initially anyways, isn't it? They measure the feet and recommend appropriate boots that would match the foot size?
