Finally tiring of heavy tele gear, I was looking for a decent boot for plodder level SkiMo events. Bought these used, and my feet and legs are happy at the end of the day.
Pros
- Pretty low boot weight for price and age (these are +3 yo boots @ 2020)
- Good range of motion
- Nice looking
Cons
- Buckle (4) design is a bit troublesome
- Who actually needs the powerstrap (I removed mine)
I am very happy with the boot, and the overall build quality. I feel La Sportiva is a top tier brand, and they are my preferred brand for footwear.
I found the powerstrap to be a nuisance. I removed it, and feel I have a better range of motion, and less shin-bash when loosend up.
The buckles have a tendency to pop up/out when not tightened down hard.
