Disappointed

By Edouard Saget Ranked #816 - Alpine Touring Boots February 25, 2009

I have always used Garmont boots and to me going w Radiums was really not a choice, but a certainty. In addition the features are very attractive and most reviews are great. Unfortunately, my first week long backcountry experience was not that great and the limiting factor was the boots.
They have a real narrow toe box, and large foot makes you want to upsize your shoes. I might have had therefore to big of boots (usually 27.5, i ended up with the 28), but here are the problems: toe box too small, liner's tongue doesnt really stop boot from hurting on your tibia and the heel seams actually create friction spots. Never had blisters or loose a toe nail in Garmonts before. So disappointed. Thanks to a great return policy, i might be looking at something else. So 5 stars for return policy, but only 3 for boots for me cause maybe I am dumbass you didn't get the right size.
