Garmont website a bit hard to decipher, for me. So, do both Radium and Axon have alpine sole blocks? do they come with, or do you have to buy them separate? I've read about potential probs if you try to use AT soles in Marker Baron bindings. yes I've read all of your awesome Garmont Axon-Radium reviews. Keep up the good work!! thanks Lou.

Axon is a tongue boot, Radium is overlap, buy depending on which kind of flex you want. As for the buckles hitting, easy to evaluate in shop. Nothing wrong with CPR on an old thread.

Prob 80/20 resort/sidecountry. Want to drive some kinda wide (< 105 or so) boards with alpine (Marker Baron) bindings. Would I be better off with the stiffer Axon, or should I consider the Radium? I've heard of some people saying the Axon, in the more fwd lean position, can sometimes have the 3rd and 4th buckles hitting each other under pressure in middle of a turn. Any feedback? thanks. so this thread is 2yrs old now…but…I’m interested in mostly resort skiing, but with occasional sidecountry trips. Prob 80/20 resort/sidecountry.

I am getting new boots for work and I went to the shop and saw the Radium's yesterday. I have skied the Xena's for the last 2 years and was convinced I would just replace them. I was thinking about getting a lighter, *slightly* softer boot... as I will only be touring with them but skiing on big skis (helidaddy's). So does can anyone compare the Xena stiffness to the Radium? And is the 'womens' Radium the same shell with a womens liner? Thanks Thanks for all the great information.
