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!

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.

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Got a pair of these boots for my partner. Smokin' deal on the boots (at 50% off.) I have used Spirit 3's for a few years and love them. These boots are basically the same thing except without intuition liners. Light weight, stiff when in Ski mode and super comfy is what I hear from her, she loves them. I would recommend these boots to anyone who is just discovering the joys of the back country.

Comments: I'm excited about them. I haven't actuall used them yet. The fit is not great for me. The heel feels tight and the arches feels like somthing's poking me. The lacing system is a bit cumbersome and difficult. But I'll try them out anyway.

All around decent boot. Would like it a little bit stiffer for skiing. Forward lean angle on this boot is beter than the old Lasers.
Note on sizing: I wear 11.5 street shoe, 10.5 Technica TNT Alpine boot, and a 9.5 (28.5) Scarpa. They run big!
Great boots for a great price
