Stiff, but comfy

By N/A May 30, 2008

I've ridden many boots over the years and I was pleasantly surprised with these. The fit of the boot is great, so comfortable to me. I would consider my foot an average width but I do have a high arch which can sometimes be very uncomfortable in some boots.
I'm normally a 10-10.5 in my boots/shoes and ended up in a 10 in these. I was surprised as usually when I start in a 10, my first 5-10 days on the snow can be miserable until they start to break in. These boots felt great my first day on the snow with them and haven't really broken in/packed out as much as other boots I've had. Would say that they've only packed out about a 1/4 size or so, so my foot isn't sliding around in them.
They were a bit stiff to start out, but now that they have broken in the flex is great... I would say they were probably about an 8 of 10 to start and are probably about a 6.5 out 10 now.
Don't over look these boots, as they are right up there in quality, fit and performance as the "big" companies boots.
