Liner inhibits walk mode
Unlike my last pair of MTB’s, the liner on these boots wraps all the way around my calf, so the walk mode collar on the shell is useless (the liner is now the limiting factor). Moreover, the new liner is a bit looser, so these boots will probably be too loose once they pack out a bit (I ordered the same size as last time).
On the plus side, the boa’s allowed me to tighten down the boot more and they feel super responsive edge to edge.
