Thus I swapped to the RS 130 due to its lower end step and honestly more low volume heel and ankle. The flex also feels quite a bit more substantial over the shadow which is what I needed as well.

Fwiw, I replaced my 5th (or was it 6th) pair of RX130 LV with the RS 130 LV, fit appears to be exactly the same, plastic and liner are slightly stiffer. Shadow didn't do much for me, felt soft and a bit big as mentioned.

I tried on the MV and LV of the RS and they seemed identical in the instep heel and ankle but with a touch more room in the MV forefoot. Could have made the LV work but I got a screaming deal on the MV so I sent it. Hopefully we don’t end up needing the MV.

Finally pulled off the band-aid and retired my RX130s. Only 1 day on the Lange Shadows, and I have the LV versions, BUT DAMN! I was loving these boots. I felt connected to the ski like I've never been before. My RX130s were pretty clapped out, but so far I'm stoked.

As for fit, I usually have to get a big toe punch and some room around my sixth toe in RX130s. I would guess that I will still need the big toe punch but the room around my sixth toe felt good, and other than the crappy footbed, I think these boots feel pretty damn good out of the box. Have a good amount of lift served ski days lined up over the holidays to properly break em in.
