Alien RS as Seth says is probably the narrowest boot I've ever owned and the only boot Ive ever had to have punched as a result.
The BOA lacing system also helps snug up that fit for those of use with narrow feet.

It skis about the same as my old TLT6P's and is ridiculously light but its a specialty touring boot and you have to accept its limitations.

Engineering marvel as far as i'm concerned.

One suggestion, if the Hawx Ultra 130 is too stiff, try on a Hawx Ultra 120 XTD. Similar lasts with different manufacturers all fit differently, so have a other choices.

I tried on the Backland Carbon, the Atomic equivalent of the Alien I guess, and they fit awesome and felt surprisingly stiff. They are a little less of a boot than I was looking for though. The hawk 130 on the other hand iis a little bit more of a boot than I need since I'm looking for a boot just to tour in.


I am using the Backland, which fits me great with pretty narrow feet (a few punches needed). You might also look at the Dynafit models. The Neo/Mercury fit me great and are kind of a burlier boot that still tours really well.

What is your opinion on how the backhand skis? Thanks.

They hawk 120 is actually heavier than the 130 unfortunately

It skis well for a soft light boot. I haven't tried skiing wider than a 98 (K2 pinnacle 2018 177cm which is short for me) on spring snow, although I have skied powder with it on my Zenoxide 88s. With those skis it's plenty of boot. I think for me it would be softer than I want for heavy wet pow on fat skis but would be manageable. I am still using my Neos for the fatter skis.

Also the Backlands tours incredibly well with the tongues removed. On the other hand, I like that the Neo doesn't have removable tongues and I could ski the Mercury without tongue and it was plenty stiff.
