Anyone know if these have a similar fit and heel height as the Wasatch GTX?

The Wasatch fits me very well, I would like to try the Summit but some of the reviews make me wonder if the fit and stance is different.

I have both. The fit is FAR different. The Wasatch GTX fits much more comfortably around the ankle....the Summit grips your ankle like a vice. The GTX 10.5 was a little small for me...it made my right toe ache after a couple of hours of bumping up against the inside of it. The Summit 10.5 was a little more generous in length but was stiffer and over all was harder to break in. I haven't used either for enough time or hard trips to give opinion on the wear characteristics. Sorry.
