Reviewed by AK climber from Fairbanks, AK on Wednesday, March 28, 2012I usually wear a 37.5-38 in La Sportiva and sized up to a 39.5 with the Nuptse. Although the fit was great for ice climbing, after 8 miles of AT skiing, a quarter size amount of flesh was exposed on both of my heels. These do work better for me than the Scarpa Invernos, but I fear a long break-in period is ahead. Be aware and plan ahead when you take these out for the first time! That said,they stand up well to the sub-zero temps of interior Alaska.

Reviewed by SG from New England on Wednesday, November 17, 2010I normally don't leave negative feedback but my experience trying to get a pair of these boots was bad. I typically wear a women's 7.5 (men's 6/EU 38). I ordered a 38.5(women's 8) but had to jam my feet into the boots. I exchanged them for a 40 (men's 7.5/women's 9). Even this size boot was way too small. I gave up at this point [...] to end up with no boots. There is a note on the boot description saying to order a 1/2 size larger but the note is way off and useless. [...] I have bought a lot of things here but will never order a pair of shoes from here again as one can't rely on their sizing comments, especially for this product.
- Cons: Uncomfortable
- Sizing: Feels full size too small
- Was this a gift?: No
- Width: Feels too narrow

Reviewed by AlexE from Los Angeles on Thursday, April 15, 2010These run really small--had to order 1.5 sizes bigger than normal. The toe box is also tight, width-wise and up and down. Once you get the sizing figured out, they are really nice boots.

Reviewed by DrFunker from New England on Thursday, April 08, 2010Haven't been out on these yet. I bought them after researching the best boots for snowboarding/splitboarding. These boots came up in discussions many times. I am planning a trip to the White Mtns. this spring and bought these boots specifically for that purpose. Will try to write a post-review when I get back for the trip.
