The Head S10 is a very good boot.? The liners are the same as the S12.? The beauty of Head boots are they are one of the most (or maybe the most) adjustable for the talented bootfitter. The 3/4 inch behind the heel in the bare shell is too much .. you should target 1/4 to 3/8 inch (maybe 1/2 at most).? While the S10 liners initially feel snug; they should be heat fitted.? When I purchased my S10s last year I was told by the boot fitter to ski several days on them and them come back for the heat fit.? The heat fit is an uncomfortable experience but results in a great fitting boot with zero pinch points.? The S10 is not a plug boot or race boot but is a 'lateral' boot as HH recommends and will serve an advanced/expert skier very well (and comfortably I might add).? ?

Go for the tight shell maybe a 28.0
