Great price, comfy, good fit

I outgrew my favorite Alpina touring boots so I was hurriedly trying to find a suitable replacement. Honestly, these were the cheapest 3-pin boots I could find but they were from a brand I trusted, so I ordered them. Arrived very quickly, in time for a trip to Methow Valley. The fit was perfect and they are very comfortable. They don't slide up and down on your heel, and the toe box is generous but not too wide (I wear a women's 9B-C and I ordered a size 41). The lacing system secures the fit well. The heels were very stable on both backcountry and track skis. They didn't feel as warm as my older Alpina boots, but we were skiing in -6F conditions and although my toes felt cold for about 30-45 minutes of the day, feeling came back quickly once we were skiing hard. Great price, very comfortable fit, warm enough for skiing 5-6 hours a day in -6F conditions, good stability, and a good secure fit.
