I have always figured that people who have enough time to write a review aren't getting out, but its raining here today, so what the hell. I have wide duck feet and scarpas fit me perfectly and they have been my footwear of choice for over 20 years. These new summit gtx's are amazingly light and nimble. I actually climbed a short 5.8 with them and they are great on ice.
My buddies have always had trouble keeping up, but now they will only be watching my ass high above them.
