These boots are da Bomb

Never having been a skinny skier I didn't know what to expect with Scarpas. Much to my surprise I couldn't tell the difference between them and my Technicas. Great comfort and exception responsiveness. There was a learning curve on the forward lean: Take the liner out, turn the screw to the max, and watch the gizmo move. That being done mold the liners, put in the stiff tongue and let 'er rip. These boots work great in my alpine Markers and so so in Dukes and Jesters. Out of the box the heel is just a little think, after walking in them it evens out. The walk mode makes the trek to the lifts pain free and skinning with the Dukes is a delight. Word to to wise: They are generous in sizing. I tried 28.5 as are my Technicas and went down to 28, could use a 27.5. Scarpas are sized on whole size differance in half size is all in the liner. Great product.
