How would these compare to a traditional ski boot or an Apex?

I’ve never seen these before. Seems like a mix between an Apex ski boot and normal ski boot. Hard to tell from the photo but it looks like it’s a 3 piece.

Anyone have experience with these? I’ve never heard of them before.

Moose Jaw has them for a little over $300.

If I was going to be skiing consistently this year I would probably try them out on a whim.
 
2 pair came into the shop i work at to get mounted. they are literal winter boots inside a "shell" about 108mm last and even shittier than an apex boot

Sounds about right.
 
Had a customer come in with these for a, “fitting,” last season. All he did was brag about how expensive they supposedly were. Told him I can’t do a whole lot because there’s *very little* plastic to be manipulated, and he told the owner that our shop sucked and we had no clue what we were doing when it came to fitting. Owner told him that they’re not real ski boots and that he should try an actual boot on and the dude walked out.

These look like dogshit unless you are a legit type I skier

They’re for super rich people who wouldn’t be able to withstand an actual ski boot and just want to walk around the lodge after 3 runs in their Dior ski jackets
 
I got an ex demo pair from the US distributor (braindead wad of meat), and I'll give it a shot early season. Materials and construction are top notch. No idea how they'll perform compared to a properly fitted 120 or 135 traditional boot.

I don't get what would make them more comfortable than normal boots tho

108mm last? I didn't even klnow they made them that big. That's completely ridiculous.
 
They’re absolute shit as everyone as expressed!! We had them in the shop for 3 winters and I think we sold 4 pair. They’re a snow boot that fits in a shit shell! The 120 flexed about the same as a 95 flex normal boot. There’s no way from a boot fitters perspective that you can even work on them or even punch them etc. One of the dumbest designs on the market right now in my personal opinion.
 
Ding ding ding, right on the fucking money
