Black Diamond Method Alpine Touring Boot - Men's
Methodical feedback

Ranked #141 - Alpine Touring Boots
November 7, 2008
Great boot to ski, both on and off piste. Nice and rigid, easily steer my Zealots in all conditions. Work well in both Fritschi bindings and Dynafit. With a little adjustment, the forward lean is good and aggressive. On the down side, the buckles have not stood up well to the wear and tear I've put them through catskiing and ski mountaineering so far. The outsoles are very soft (should have gone with Vibram), and the toeboxes are quite tight. Overall, I'm glad I bought these boots but I'm looking forward to seeing some improvements for next season's boots.
Miles.
