Warning, *not* the Spirit 3! By Jonathan S. from Amherst, Mass. on 08/06/2008 Pros: Adjustability, Comfortable, Good Traction, Quality Construction Cons: Difficult Lacing System Describe Yourself: Competitive Athlete Sizing: Feels half size too big Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Warning, this is *not* the Scarpa Spirit 3!
The Spirit 3 is one Scarpa's all-around alpine touring and ski mountaineering boots.
Unfortunately, this is an economy/price-point version that lacks the Dynafit binding interface and the warm-yet-light thermomoldable liner.
So it weighs more than the Spirit 3, and condemns you to using much heavier bindings too.
The price savings would be attractive but given that stp carries Dynafit-compatible boots at a comparable discount, this boot is kind of a dead-end purchase.
Good deal on a solid AT boot! By Patroller from Winthrop, WA on 03/14/2008 Pros: Adjustability, Comfortable, Good Traction, Quality Construction, Warm Cons: Difficult Lacing System, Difficult to get out off Describe Yourself: Advanced Sizing: Feels full size too big Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend For the record, Scarpa boots run big. I wear a street 10 or so and in both this boot and my Scarpa T2 telemark boot, I fit an 8/9 shell with a size 9 liner- so my advice, be clear when you order, go a size smaller! They make a boot shell fit 2 foot sizes and get the specific fit from the liner thickness.
That said, these boots felt great from the get go. Comfy skiing, standing and walking about- what more can you want?
One caveat: They are a royal pain to get out of! The liner folds along the heel, meaning the it gets partially pulled out at each extrication. This is a small price to pay for a good deal on a solid boot!
By ts from Los Alamos, NM on 02/27/2008 Pros: Adjustability, Comfortable, Quality Construction, Warm Describe Yourself: Advanced Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought these after trying several pairs. This is a low volume boot, with a narrow heel and slightly wider toe box. The walk/ski function makes a big difference in flex. In the ski mode the boot feels stiff enough to have plenty of control on steep and advanced terrain, but in walk it is comfortable for touring. The sizing is on the small size, I ended up buying the same size as my street shoe.
