I molded the liner, and I even had the boot blown out by Doc's Ski Haus; however, it is still too narrow. After a full day hiking, skinning, and skiing in them I get a silver dollar size blister in my arch, and a bruise on the outside of my foot opposite the arch. That being said, if I could just get the darn things to fit, I'd love them. They ski great downhill (I can't tell a difference between them and an alpine boot), and the walk mode works great for hiking/skinning. The extremely aggressive lugs on the bottom are nice for traction as well. After a 2 day trip up Shasta, my feet stayed warm and dry (and blistered). I'm giving them 4 stars, although I may change it to 5 if I can ever fix the fit somehow . . .

After using the beacon for practice only a few times it will no longer switch to search mode. This is fine if I get buried but it would suck for the person I'm skiing with. Due to all the good reviews, I'm assuming that my beacon is just defective, but it's enough to scare me into buying another model.
