Wondering if anyone had any advice on some very low volume boots (especially in the lower leg) that are at least fairly stiff. Possibly the techinca race pros? Also would appreciate info from anyone who has used the new garmot freeride boots. The chicken legs need some love.

salomon's fit around my chicken legs just fine. I have X waves (same as Xmax) the course is a narrower FOOT shape, but same upper leg.
narrow foot. Technica, Raichle (softish), Lange has about 3 lasts all narrow to med.
LIke someone else will say,
SEE A BOOT FITTER.

The new head race series, nordica doberman 150 and tecnica true world cup boot (only available if points are below a certain level) are the three lowest volume boots on the market. PLace a lange shim on the tongue and that will be your cure for the chicken leg.
These boots are all super stiff.
