4.0 out of 5 stars. Good overallVerified Buyer Reviewed by Johnny law from Northern ca on Tuesday, December 30, 2014Pretty good overall boots, fit is secure and adjustable.
Only issue is the clearance between the lock/walk mode. There is quite a bit of slop which can be felt when you lean forward and backward and produces an audible click sounds.
Boots are not very stiff either, probably in the 80-90 flex index range.
Overall a good touring boot for someone looking to get into the sport and going out a few times a year. -
3.0 out of 5 stars. Too much playVerified Buyer Reviewed by Gilly from Montana on Saturday, October 25, 2014I wanted to love this boot, I really did. Scarpa differs from other ski boot manufacturers in that .5 mondo sizes go into the next size UP shell. Eg. 29.5 is a 30 shell. After getting the right size for my foot, I was excited when the fit was just right. The black part on top of the shell pivots out of the way on 2 hinges (once you hold the upper buckles out of the way - which takes a little fidgeting) allowing you to put your foot in quite easily. The liner tongue is tightened down into place with shoelaces (this does not have a wrap-around intuition liner). This was expected from a touring-oriented boot, and once I had all the buckles tightened down, I was happy with how much fore-aft mobility I had in walk mode. All was going according to plan!
The problems arose in ski mode. Ski mode is basically just a pin that goes into a hole on the flat bar above the heel, keeping you in one position of the walk mode (this design is pretty typical). There is only one hole and it felt like the forward lean was about right. The problem is, when you lean forward and back in ski mode, there is quite noticeable play (I measured about 1/16 of an inch) on the flat slider bar. This would not have been a deal-breaker, but there is also an audible click/crunch (as the pin hits the top and bottom of the hole) that sounded awful! Both boots exhibited the same play and noise in ski mode, so I assume this is an inherent problem with this boot. My suspicion is that:
a. The pin is too small in diameter for the hole, allowing for the 1/16" of play (maybe Scarpa was worried about the hole icing up and preventing switching to ski mode?)
b. The pivot mechanism that allows the pin to move in and out also has play, allowing the pin to tilt up and down when it hits the top and bottom of the hole, causing the click/crunch noise. (You can actually see the backside of the pin doing this)
I'm a bigger guy, 6"2 210lbs. There is a lot of force on that little pin when I'm skiing around. I am also a chairlift mechanic, and I know a bad (wearing out) sound when I hear it. I could not live with the sound and sensation (you can feel it in your legs!) of the clicking in ski mode so I returned them. It is so loud that I would be embarrassed skiing or even shuffling around in ski mode around other people, especially in the silence of the backcountry.
This boot is pretty darn flexy, too. I think they say it's a 100 flex, but in my opinion, it feels more like 90. The boot shell bulges a lot around the instep when you lean forward hard. I hoped this would be useable in-bounds as well as being my go-to for touring, but I feel they would be a little out-gunned in bounds for a guy my size.
Maybe these issues with this boot (does it also happen with the Maestrale from this year?) are why they're so easy to find at bargain-basement prices?
