Alex Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 I had a pair that also killed my feet. You might have wider feet, in which case Scarpa's last might work for you better... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin_B Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 I have a pair and I have wide feet and I love them. I'll buy another pair when these are finished but that will be a while yet. They just had their first resole and I put some custom insoles in. great boot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabo Posted February 24, 2004 Author Share Posted February 24, 2004 I love the comfort of the boot, it fits every well and I do have a wide foot. The problem is my right ankle has less flex than the left and this puts extreme pressure on the right ball of my foot. I just need a boot that is a little more flexible in the front. I'm looking to pick up some of the Trango S's instead. I have a pair of Salomon's that are a 3/4 shank that work fine for vertical ice and etc. so these are expendable. I hate to get rid of them considering I sunk a good deal of cash into them... Super warm a super comfy if I don't walk in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do not fit a wide foot like the NE. They also run a size or two small. I bought the same size Trango S's as my NE and they are way too small. They are also not at all water proof. I'll never buy crampon-captible non-water proof boots again. Those things are freaking mop buckets. They scarificed good fit and quality for light weight.

gabo Posted February 26, 2004 Author Share Posted February 26, 2004 Damn. I've pratically been basing my boot buying future on getting those boots. They just seemed so perfect for what I wanted. I was a little wary of the Trango S's due to 'rumors' of lack of waterproofing. I think the latest Backpackers review noted that as well, but when I checked in out on the LSport. web site it states the contrary. I also wasn't too keen on having to buy new crampons to fit the S's. Thanks for your input Dustin, you may have saved me some headache!

Dustin_B Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 I spoke to LS rep one night at a gear demo and he agreed with me when I complained about the lack of water proofness. I didn't know they were making the claim that they were w/p on their website! The lack of water proofing isn't a huge deal if you're on a day trip, but I wore them on a 4 day trip into the picketts. Never again!!! My feet were swimming the second, third, and forth days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
