Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I only ski for fun, not competition, and with these boots I feel confident in different conditions (groomed, breaking trail, ice, etc). Getting the boots on and off is easy, and having a dial to tighten them instead of having to tie laces is very convenient. I wish it tightened the whole foot - it seems that my ankle area gets snug and not as much by my toes and arch. I have wide feet, but have actually found that these are almost too wide for me. However, this hasn't caused blistering, and it feels good to be able to wiggle my toes. I've found that the top part of the boots above my ankles needs breaking in, but otherwise the boots were comfortable right out of the box. I'm looking forward to using these boots for longer ski trips, and wouldn't hesitate to wear them for multiple-day adventures.
