My experience with F1s is limited to 6 long day trips in the Sierras including varied snow, booting with crampons, and rock scrambling. The fit: liners are better than other brands I've used. No blisters, which is surprising considering how little control there is to tighten the liners in climbing mode. Liners are toasty. Performance: F1s really shine on the uphill. Their skinning efficiency is amazing! Bellows rock for skinning! Scrambling was a bit awkward because of the stiff tongue, and takes getting used to. Not sure if the bellows add advantage there. Some crampons won't fit because of the protruding part on the back (the light camp fits!). Skiing is basically as described by most people.
