Full Tilt Ascendant SC

The Ascendent SC has a wider 102mm last width, which makes it ideal for those with higher volume feet and needing a bit more space up front.

One of the best options in the 3 piece style of boots, the ribbed tongue allows for a smooth progressive flex. This model comes with a stiff 120 flex tongue which makes it perfect for those looking for response and performance in the most technical terrain and generally more of that freeride style..

Salomon Shift AT

Another in the moldable range, the new Shift boot from Salomon is both comfortable and very conformable. With its low stance height, seamless liner, lightweight construction and great skiing feel. This boot should be on your radar. 

100mm/106mm last. 

With a 101mm last this boot is a favourite of many of the heavier set ski tourers as it skis well, tours great and can be stretched well for width. The new Maestrale is made with Pebax Rnew plant based plastic, it is super light but still offers good lateral power. A great wider fitting forefoot shape gives relief and space to settle in with. 60 degrees of ROM, Solid flex, Intuition liner and 3 well placed buckles offer good security when buckled.

Fischer Ranger One - HV

A great choice with a robust construction and still nice and light, it is a perfect hybrid design that really shines through. At about 1850 g it is not as light as some of the competitors, but they ski as well as any alpine boot through resort and BC adventures.

Now this one does begin quite of a medium fit overall, but what makes it unreal is how much it can mold and expand. The Memory Fit system allows this boot to expand up to about 6mm wider than its original shape simply by heating in the oven. Although not the highest in regards to the instep, but if you are just wide up front it will easily mold out to your foot without worrying about the need to do a bunch of punching or stretching. 1580g and a solid alpine boot feel, this is a great boot.

If your happy to ski with a bit extra weight and just want a boot to fit. The track can be great balance. With a great 104mm last and generous instep volume, this boot will be a choice for the super wide. It has WTR soles as an option and a hike mode on the cuff. It will provide resort style skiing response and a great flex for the heavier skier. Only down side is no tech inserts so will require a frame touring binding.

And there you go, my top picks for finding a touring boot that can help solve your foot pain issues. Get out in the backcountry, earn those turns and enjoy the pow.
