Black Diamond Method Alpine Touring Boot - Men's
Who knew they made comfortable AT boots?

Ranked #109 - Alpine Touring Boots

I've gone through Garmonts and Scarpas, and had pretty much resigned myself to pain in the backcountry. So, when I tried the Methods, I fell in love with them. Each person's feet are different, so your experience my vary, but I liked 'em a lot.
Sadly, I'm looking for a stiffer boot, so I'm on to the Factor. I'm 5'8", 150lb, and ski aggressively and was really able to push these around. So be aware.
Also be aware about a strange thing about these: they smell like hay when they're new. Weird.
