Problem solved
I'm 50, with 36 years of skiing experience. In the last decade, typically 1-2 trips a year. I can't remember a time as an adult when boot fit hasn't been a primary factor in how long I can ski. I've had to cut days short, even stop and unbuckle mid-run. Numbness, cold, circulation issues, and pain were the norm. Decided to get new boots this year so I went to a reputable traditional boot ski shop and tried everything they had. Same old story (no fault of the shop, just that the traditional ski boots don't cut it for me- even with wide sizes). Decided I had nothing to lose and ordered apex boots delivered to my ski vacation destination. I opened the box, put them on, and skied blissfully for 4 days. From the fist turn, I felt the performance was comparable to any demo setup I'd rented- no performance degradation for me. I do a few black diamonds, and can hit +45 mph regularly on groomed hills, making aggressive turns. No form fitting, no adjustments. Even wore the inner boot to apres ski, drove a car, and went snowmobiling for an afternoon in them- is that comfortable enough for you?

I like MC-X better
I have an older model (MC-X). However, it started showing its age, so I upgraded to the latest.

Pros:
- It's significantly lighter. You can feel it immediately.

Cons:
- New boots are narrower. I got the original one precisely because of the discomfort in the regular ski boots. New boots are coming close to that feeling I hoped to leave behind.
- Boot slides forward with the absence of any meaningful front guard. It's ok to cruise on blues, but if I charge harder, it takes one lap to feel that tiny guard pressing on the toes from the bottom when applying forward pressure.
- Add an open heel to the above where the snow gets compacted, and you can't adjust a boot anymore without removing the shell and cleaning out snow/ice.
- New liner is inferior to the older one; it feels like a cheap knock-off; too much padding on the top of the foot.

I like the older model better. If it could be made lighter - that'd be the perfect boot for me. Now, I'm figuring out if a regular ski boot is a better option because the sliding boot is very annoying.

The best and more versatile boots, PERIOD!
I've been an avid Apex boots customer for several years now. Somehow, someway they were able to make the Antero VS lighter, tighter, and nicer! I'm a backcountry powder hunter who loved to hike. I'm a former collegiate athlete who had multiple foot surgeries, so I have trouble getting into the old school ski boots. Apex has allowed me to continue skiing in the aggressive way I always have. I'll never use another boot, ever ever ever. Thank you Alex team!

Better yet!
I just spent a day on my new Antero VS boots, outstanding! They are my third pair of Apex boots starting with the MC2. Each has been an upgrade in comfort and performance! I'm 78, Apex has kept me skiing !

Finally comfortable! Skiing is fun again after years, decades really, of trying to find a better boot! Highly recommended.

I'm a 61 year old
I'm a 61 year old Canadian male with a number of foot injuries which were keeping me out of traditional ski boots. The boa system makes the comfy boot feel great. I don't need to escape the exo shell or loosen anything at lunch hour; all day happiness when worn like a tradition boot. The other features are great but this alone is enough to recommend this boot system.

A big improvement over the
A big improvement over the Antero XP. The top strap is much more adjustable and not prone to locking up. The underfoot length is shorter as well. Very comfortable!

Pretty comfortable as advertised.
So I have been skiing on 2 separate occasions for 3 days each time with these boots. They are comfortable overall, much more so than ski boots. They basically feel like snowboard boots. I did have a hot spot over my right lateral malleolus, but that is likely my foot issue, as this isn't the first time that spot irritated my. The only negative is that they were fine for groomed runs, but felt alittle loose when trying to do moguls. I definitely struggled in the moguls more than I would with ski boots, but I guess that is the trade off.

so comfortable
Most comfortable boots I ever wore. I always had pain on the soles of my feet before but not with these. Plenty of ability to adjust the fit makes them a delight to wear all day on the mountain, and had great control over the skis.

There's Nothing Higher than (the) Apex
Before finding Apex boots in 2010, for 35 years I was the Goldilocks of ski boots: "These boots are too cold", "These boots are too tight", "These boots are too old" "These boots are too light." If you suffer from "these-boots-are-too-itis", tuck your tender toesies in a pair of Apexes for a truly transformational experience.

Since donning the venerable MC-1, my joy of skiing has increased exponentially. I've taken the Apex Pledge never to buy or wear any other brand of ski boots. The convenience, comfort, warmth, and fit more than make up for the cost. (Plus they make a great conversation piece.)

I'm not just a fiercely loyal Apex devotee, I'm also a tireless (unpaid!) Apex evangelist who's progressed from the MC-1, MC-2, and XP. I just ordered the Antero VS. The customer service is similarly superlative: The folks at Apex are committed to helping customers get the right boot with the right fit.

Without any decline in performance, my Apexes have comfortably conveyed me on and off-piste, in all skiing conditions and weather, at skiing destinations worldwide: Up and down Tuckerman's Ravine, the Hahnenkamm at Kitzbuhel, Mary Jane at Winter Park (my happy place), Yongpyong in South Korea, the Kandahar at Garmisch-Partenkirchen, the Mayflower Bowl at Deer Valley, and more.

Put on your Apex walkable boot at home, drive or walk to your skiing destination, ski hard all day, and drive or walk home (or to your favorite apres-ski watering hole). The Apex system will likely be not only the most comfortable ski boots you've ever worn, but also quite possibly your most comfortable pair of boots period. Your feet will thank you.
