Cannot comment on the Boots. I asked Sierra Trading Post if my older "Bail" type crampons would work on this boot. A hearty "They Should" was the reply. When I asked for a more positive answer, the spokes person went for a higher authority. "They Will" was the final decree from the "EXPERT" ... Some expert! They do and and will not, and they have no solution for me.

I am a woman rock climber starting to get into mountaineering and ice climbing and decided to give these a try since most people say it runs narrow. I rented Scarpa Inverno size 6 when I climbed Mt. Rainier last year and they were a tag big for me. So I ordered size 6 here too. At first the toe area felt a little too tight for me with my Smartwool mountaineering socks. But I decided to test them out during a 2 day ice climbing trip since the price is pretty good in STP. A few minute into the approach hike they felt just right and no hot spots whatsoever during the whole trip. During the vertical climbing (W4-)I felt my heel lifted inside the boots and had some issues with kicking, which I didn't experience last time wearing rented La Sportiva Nepal. But I think they still climb pretty well for plastics and they kept my feet toasty in the teens. The biggest concern I have with them is that they are not waterproof. On my hike back to the car I accidentally stepped into some keen high water after the thin ice broke, and water went into my boots right away despite that I was wearing OR Crocodile gaiters. Maybe I didn't tighten the gaiters well enough but still, my partner stepped his foot into water as well but his leather GTX boot didn't leak a bit. I am still debating whether to keep them.

This year's model has Intuition liners, not the Scarpa liners mentioned in the product listing and the reviews from 2010. I bought these to replace a pair of Scarpa Alphas that I fitted with Intuition liners about 6 years ago.
Boot size is the same as the alphas -- if those fit you with the intuitions, then these will too.
Question
“I bought the size 9 and the inner boot says 9 but the outer boot says 8.5-9. They are a little small so does the size 9.5 have 9-9.5 on the outer boot? Also what does the size 10 say on the outer boot (I assume it is 9.5-10)?”

Answer
The shell of the 9.5 will be a 9.5-10. Mountaineering boot shell are sized like ski boots. Where a shell will fit two sizes and the inner boot (liner) dictates which size it is.

“Hi, you're saying those boots are narrow, witch brand and model would be better for wide feet then ? Invernos?Degrees?Verticals?Nepals?|Thanks”

Answer
I would recommend reading the reviews and looking at the following products:|Item #2063U|Item #2321V|Item #1687U|These should guide you. You will often want to look for shoes with widths, Vasque and Asolo generally need to be a wide and Lowa is a good wide company.

“hello, what's the date of production of these boots? I've heard there were problems with the lining in the older ones. How about warranty in Poland (Europe)?”
Asked on 2/4/2010 12:00:00 AM by oktawian from poland
Answer
These boots are a medium width. If you need a wide width you may need a different boot.

Answer
Tough call, my advice is to try the 13 1/2 to get the extra width since these do not seem to run wide, but then why settle for hiking in a boot that's too long? You want the right fit- right width AND right length (size). I've gotten a bigger work boot once just so the width would be more comfortable and I hated it- I stumbled around in a boot that was too long. Try different brands. Be patient and don't settle, get the size and width that fits.

Answer
I would have to say they run slightly narrow. Great deal on the boots. Could try slightly long and see how they fit.
