I'm 6'4" 200lbs and have the 'Lange' foot(been wearing L8s for years). Looking to to get an AT boot since spending more time doing backcountry/skinning, but need it to be long enough. Tried 30.5 Garmont Endorphins, but were too short, especially when I put my footbeds in. Seems like these, Skookums or Tecnica Agent AT fit longer or may have enough volume to work with the footbeds. Because of my longer legs, would also like a higher cuff so I feel connected to the boot. Does not have to be the stiffest boot, but I definitely like to charge. Any advice?

I have skied about two weeks so far in these boots and am questioning how the heals are going to hold up, my Dukes and Jesters really dig into the softer material.

I'm starting to wonder if I posted that in my sleep. ;) I bought these last season and I've been happy with them. I'm 6'3" 225lbs and have size 15 pontoons, had the same problem with the Garmont line. I had been considering a softer freeride type boot for the off piste resort skiing and since experiencing an 8 mi bc skin in my Lange 120 Comps and Alpine Trekkers I realised I needed a AT setup that was WAY lighter. I looked at the Scarpa Sprirt 3 & 4s but I couldn't justify the purchase of a pair of AT boots that I might not use often and could not use with my alpine skis. Because of limited funds, lack of deals on big boots, and risk of a bad fit my options were to either spend $$$ on a pair of alpine boots and suck it up for a season OR spend double the $$$ on a pair of AT and a pair of alpine boots, both well fit. Thankfully a boot fitter informed me of this new boot, a beefier version of last year's Tornado. So far they are great, a good all-around boot for what I needed. I don't know if the cuff height is what you want. I can say though, the 2 tongues are an awesome feature, light and flexible uphill and powerful on the way down. They can still turn GS boards on the groomers. Only complaints are the cold feet and the lack of tread on the front sole when hiking. I hear there is a different sole for that to use with AT bindings, but I haven't found where to buy them. I also have concerns with they're durability, they might not hold up to 3 seasons of 60 ski days, who knows...they are only a year old. Best of luck.
