Phil, have Salomon fixed their outward cant bias in the X-series? As mentioned, previous models in this line seemed to be noticeably canted outward.  Not sure if it was the boot board or sole or something else that caused this.  Bootfitters that I spoke to, and online reviewers mentioned the same thing about these boots.

If this is fixed, and the shell has a better overall fit than the previous models, I would seriously look at these again.  I tried them a few months ago, and the fit just didn't work for me -- metal hinge bolt was right on top of my ankle bone, if I recall, among other issues.

While i have not skied the new X-Max but did ski the older CS, the stance feels much better. I was not a fan of the way the Impact and Falcons skied. Should this be on your list of boots to try? I have no idea, I haven't seen your feet and what you need for a boot. If you do go in and try this boot, make sure the fitter planes the boot board, they are concave in forefoot.
