I have no idea either if this boot will work in it's new form.  I'll pop into a shop to try one on and see.  I tried these on at least three times over the past few years -- first the Falcon, then the X-3, and none of them fit well.  I ended up with a Tecnica Inferno which is an excellent fit, but I have outgrown the flex (110) and am now looking for a replacement.  The Inferno 130 as at the top of my list.  I also tried a Head Raptor recently, and it too was a very good fit -- actually more snug overall than the Inferno.  That one is presently a strong possibility too.

If the Inferno is working for you, don't bother with the Salomon X-Max, it is much more generous. While the X-Max won't be bad...there are closer fits to the Inferno. IE. the Inferno 130, Nordica Dobermann EDT, Spitfire 120 and Patron Pro and Head Raptor (narrower in the heel). Without seeing your foot, the Lange RS120, Dalbello Scorpion are possibilities too.
