I’m looking at Salomon X Max and the Fischer Curv Vac. I’m attracted to the moldability of the Fischers (my ice skates are ultra moldable and it was a game changer). However, the Salomons fit incredibly well out of the box (best heel lock I’ve experienced and no hot spots) while the Fischers have some slop in a few areas. Is there reason to believe:
- The Fischers can get to the level of fit I’m experiencing with the Salomons?
- The Salomons will pack-out faster than the molded Fischers?
Also, am I right in understanding that Salomon’s molding process is better at adding space than removing it?
FYI, I was only able to try on X Max 100, older Fischer 110, and 2018 Curv 130. To my 160lb, 5’11” body, there wasn’t a ton of difference flexing them.
I’m going for a fitting soon, but I’d appreciate some more education. Thanis a lot.
