I just got this in Mondo 27. wow. amazing feel. only not for my feet. the boot was too tight on the instep (ooo, look at the pretty ballet feet showing me what my instep is: http://www.the-perfect-pointe.com/FootDiagramExplanations.html). anyways, I'm an advanced skier lookin to get into touring for the first time, any boot recommendations that are similar to a Spirit 4 (or not, whatever) but will fit my wide foot and (apparently) high instep???

I have (from what I gather) very similar feet to you. Crazy high instep, wide forefoot, and very prominent ankle bones to boot. After trying on a few AT boots and asking an expert bootfitter, I settled on these. First of all, I took out the bootboard -- instant improvement. For the wide aspect, take them to a reputable bootfitter and have them stretched. After a few hours of work, mine feel every bit as good (better?) than my alpine boots. Seeing as this is an old thread maybe you've already made your decision, but if not hopefully this helps.

Don't give up yet. The Spirit 4 has a removable boot board that will give you more room for your instep. Once you pull it out (underneath the liner) and add an EVA insert in the heel you'll have a lot more room for your high instep and wider feet.
