Ok first off the inital out of the box fit was so so, until I adjusted the ankle strap, then the fit like a well broken in running shoe. I changed the laces and added a bit of closed cell foam under the laces (as well as swaped the stock laces for thicker boot laces) and now they are very comfortable. Keeping in mind that they are not tele boots the provide great support, as it says above fits NNN bindings, I will post again once the snow starts to fall and I get to give them a trial run

I've used these boots a few times now and I'm impressed with their comfort and ankle support.
They tend to run slightly large in size, so if you fall in the middle in sizing, you might waant to go with the smaller size boot.
I'm a size 10.5 and went with a size 45 (11) and should have went with a 44 (10) being they run slightly larger in size.
The one negative is that you really need to lace these boots tightly in order to keep your foot tight to the boot, but this may also be in part that the boot is slightly big for me as well.
Also, there isn't much, if any at all support over the top of your foot, being the fabric tongue is lightweight vinyl and foam.
The plastic wrap around cuffs need to be deburred breaking all inner sharp edges too, otherwise they "might possibly" cut into the fabric portion of the boots. Sand paper or a stout nail file will work for this task.
I also replaced the thin laces that came with the boots with larger tubular laces.
All in all the 2050 Boot is a good match with the Fischer Rebound Skis that I also purchased for light duty BC adventures!

I put on the boots thinking I needed to wear them around the house for a little break in time, boy was I wrong!
They fit perfectly, no tight spots and in the back country very warm and after the first day of skiing, about 5 hours,
my feet were not sore at all.
Very happy with the boots and the help from the people at your company.

Thank you, GunnyE

These boots are extremenly comfortable, they are downright slipper-like in their comfort. They are great in track or making your own tracks. Great support for the downhill parts. I'm 6"3" 225, and they are plenty stable. They are well made, and it seems like they will last several years. I have used them about thirty times since I purchased them, and they look and feel brand new. More than I can say for the Rossignol's I had, which lasted one season. I really like the lace cover, it keeps the laces from icing up when in the deep snow. They are warm, but not too warm. I did 10k in 0 degrees, with wind, one pair of wool socks, and was fine. I've found the boots run true to size, I have a size Euro 47, and I wear a size 12 US shoe, size 13 running shoe. .

My wife and I each bought a pair of these on the basis of the wonderful reviews focusing on how comfortable they are. They felt very comfortable when we first put them on, but they were very painful (around the ankles) when skiing. I wish we had experienced the high level of comfort that the other skiers did because these are well-made boots with great ankle support. But, in our case, it was precisely that superior ankle support that made them painful.

I encourage you to try these boots. If the ankle support works well for you, I'm sure you will be very happy with them.

After having been on the sidelines for more than 10 years, I finally decided to put together a new backcountry touring rig. My Alpina 1550's (size 41) are partnered with a pair of Rossignol BC90 waxless skis (169 cm), and Rossignol BC Magnum NNN bindings which appear to be almost indentical to the Rottefella BC Magnums. I took this gear out for the first time yesterday, to Burstall Pass in Kananskis Country west of Calgary. About 8" of fresh moist snow had fallen the previous day and air temp was about 0C/32F.

The boots were extremely comfortable, and pretty much felt like slippers compared to the single leathers I had skied in in the past. Sizing seems to be on the large size. I'm a solid size 8 in street shoes and these 41's felt like 8.5 US size. They are also quite roomy over the instep and in the heel and are medium wide at the ball of the foot. I intend to add a thin insole to raise my foot a bit and also go with thicker socks. These mods should make the fit just about perfect.

The boots were a dream along the flats and low-angle rolling terrain. The skis gripped very well up to at least a 10 deg. inclination (guessing here) and even more in the untracked fresh stuff. I put some skins on for a steep wooded "headwall" that lead up into the alpine. After slogging up to the pass, I started down the rolling terrain with 5-15 to occasional short 20 deg slopes and tried some tele turns. The first few turns were a little disconcerting - think telemarking in slippers! These boots have excellent lateral rigidity/stiffness because of the plastic frame but almost no forward stiffness. This makes it almost impossible to apply any pressure to the skis by pushing forward in the boots. It seemed to me that carefully balanced application of weight using the balls of the feet was the key to turning. A delicate touch is definitely required. And possibly a little more of an upright stance than I had used in the past. Having said that, I'm confident that with a bit more practice, I'll be turning these skis just fine. It could be that the NNN bindings were partly reponsible for the "loose" feel as well - I'm new to these also.

I'd have to disagree with some reviewers who found that these boots have good ankle support. Laterally yes, longitudinally no. They felt very soft to me.

I hope to get up on some of the local glaciers this spring and see how this setup performs. To be honest, I'm a bit leary about the stability of these boots/bindings going downhill with a heavy pack on. We'll see.

These boots are fantastic. I was surpised that they fit me so well given that they were unisex and I have very small ankles, but fit great. What a difference the NNN system makes over the SNS. I am able to make tight backcountry turns in them because of the extra support. I did not find that they ran large in size.
