"Hmmm...Interesting..." - Review of Scarpa F1 Alpine Touring Boot

Okay, I love the F1's...don't get me wrong. For all-day touring (I don't rando race, or anything), paired with a light, soft-ish ski like the old Voile Carbon Surf's, these boots simply cannot be beat. The vertical feet just rack up, since these boots are extremely light. Just be warned: you will likely have to completely change the way you ski, since these boots offer little fore-aft support on the downhill. Not only will you have to be more balanced fore-aft, but left-right as well. You have to be much more "centered" on your skis. It took me a couple days in the BC to get used to it. Once you get the technique down, these boots are a real joy to use. I haven't tried pushing big, heavy skis, but I can't imagine it'd be very easy.
