Garmont Adrenalin Alpine Touring Ski Boot - Men's - 2008 BCS

Comfy boots. Seems to be several shells for the Adrenalin however. There is the freeride shell that fits a bit lower on the ankle and has more flex, and there is the Endorphin shell (pictured) that rides a little higher and is a wee bit stiffer. I've tried both types on and they fit a bit differently so purchase wisely.

OK, four days on these babys, stiff, great edge hold compaired to my old G-fits, the soles are 308mm my old ones are 320 but the fit was fine. The lace up liner for climbing works wonderful,,I'm happy again BC, thanks, now open a store in New England,,please.

I would order 1/2 to 1 full size up from the listed recs. Compared to my downhill boots (Dalbello Krypton Pro) these are a lot less supportive (to be expected from AT i guess) especially in the anterior shin area. The foot area seems small in the foot height even when the boot is sized right.

This is the 2nd pair of Garmonts I've had, 1st being the G-Rides, which were a revelation. It's the first time in 35 yrs of skiing that I have not had major foot pain, even with custom injected liners. The Thermofit liner is great -- it accommodates my bone spurs and nasty bunion with virtually no pain. I've had a few minor shell adjustments, but nothing compared to the regular visits to the boot doctor I used to have to do. I got the Adrenalins because the G-Ride was a little soft, and I now use these exclusively off and on piste. They are just as comfy and warm and give great control over pretty beefy skis (178 Scott Missions and 174 Outlaws). Last year I threw out my Technicas and use these exclusively. They've been comfortable on pretty long walks and skins (3 hrs+) and I find them quite warm. My only reservation is that the liner does seem to pack out after a couple of years' use. I've added foot bed liners to take up some of the volume, and am using thicker socks. A friend has these with the Scarpa wrap-around liner which he swears by, so I am thinking of swapping out the Thermofit for that. I'd go for another pair of the Thermofit, but they do not seem to be as available as the Scarpas which can be got for under $100. Overall, a great boot.
