    Fit SL-10 2008 vs. SLX 2010

    Reply Quote
    hi, because of a warranty i think i have to exchange my boots. I hot-iron my liners at toebox, arch area, and heel to create length& width by shrink-on-the-spot, to downsize "to the max". So trying the new model in shop without customizing is useless...

    anyone know if the fit has changed? (like toebox did in sl-9 to sl-10...)

    thanks!

    in sl'9's i had to modify the liner on the right side to accomodate my big toe, i had to do that with all previous boots (ions etc) that i had.

    i did not have to do that with sl 10,s or any of the slx series. i wouldn't say the fits are exactly the same but there wasn't a radical change like there was from sl9 to 10

    there is a difference. i had to sell sl10s size 9 brand new because they crumbled and hurt my toes too much, slx fits way more easily in the toe box. if you are not buying boots very small, that point may be less important for you, though.
