Chad_A Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 (edited) Tried these on at a local shop; they fit me like trying to get a square to fit inside a circle (my feet are just a bit too wide; pinky toe ends up jammed harshly into the side). The guy said he could stretch them in the right places, but no guarantee they'd ever be perfect. I've heard about the M-Finity by Vasque, and the Boreal Ice Master. The Freney XT seems to be a bit heavy for what I'm looking for. (Edited to add this part) My intentions for the boot are for easy alpine rock, and with an emphasis on ice climbing. So, weight, technical ability, and a rigid plaform are key. Anyway, thought I'd ask and see if anyone has any other ideas.

Plinko Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Scarpa Freney XT kicks ass, but too hot for summer play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrogdortheBurninator Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Asolo Cholatse might be similar. I have a pair and am reasonably happy with them, although my feet hurt if they are too tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genepires Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I used my garmont towers on n ridge of baker last year in late july and those boots worked out great on the ice and everything else. Even with the recalled sarkens. how did I survive the weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
