Thanks G.  That's good advice.  Esp. about the cuff height and hinge positions.  There are a couple of boots that seem to have tall cuffs, like the Salomon X-3, Lange RS/RX, while others are much lower, and won't work for a guy my height.  I will also look for medial position of the foot relative to inside edge of ski, and any boot board canting (which was an issue with my old Langes) or other outward bias of the shell/bootboard combo.

But what about other shell fit things? Are there any other things to look for, such as side-to-side gap in heel pocket? Gap around lower leg at the cuff? Shape and room in the Achilles area? Or are those best judged with liner in?
