Anyone ski in tecnica attiva pro boots?

I have the Tecnica Attiva Flame Hotform. The Flame has a higher volume and softer flex compared to the Pro. I'm an aggressive skier and at times I felt like the Flame was too soft. However, I do like the hotform. With custom foot beds and the hotform, the boot fits "like a glove".

I also have the Technica Attiva Flame....I absolutely LOVE them. I previously had the Nordica Beast and they killed my particular foot....I have a high arch, high instep, there was always pressure on the top of my foot and I had great difficulty getting into and out of them--it actually hurt and I often needed help pulling them on and off...it was that hard! So I finally went in a few months ago and met with a very good bootfitter to figure out which brand/model suited my particular feet....and came out with the Technicas. (I continued using my custom foodbeds from before). He warned me about a break-in period, but I was comfortable in them from Day 1, and due to the comfort factor, my skiing most definitely improved with them. My feet don't hurt at the end of the day, either. I didn't find them particularly soft....My Nordicas were a fairly stiff boot, and the Technicas were perhaps slightly softer than those, but still stiff enough for me (I don't like soft boots). So I'm real happy with them....I've seen them on sale recently at 40% off, so good buys are out there on all boots right now. Wish I could have waited, but it was worth the extra full price $$ to ski with better boots for a couple of months now!
In any case, boot fit is quite personal as everyone's feet are different, and even your left vs. right foot will be different. As I learned, it's vital to go to a good bootfitter. They help you figure it out and they help you tweak the fit.

Thanks ladies, I like that CMCM described her foot, sounds pretty similar to mine. Just thinking about all of the options! After this season I am quite well aquainted with the concept of a boot that fits...I just don't know anyone personally who skis in the tecnica boots. Lots of lange friends, but those feel icky! Salomon definately is better, but my bootfitter suggested I try these....he just doesn't sell them. Thanks again!

I have had Tecnicas for the past 15 years. I have a high arch and narrow heel. Tecnicas are the only boots that really fit my feet. I love the hot form liners and with custom foot beds you can not beat the fit.
