4-QUATTRO XT MEN'S

The sizing is VERY odd compared to anything I've tried before. I usually wear a 29.5 lower-volume boot, previous non-AT boot was a Lange Shadow 130 LV, and then went into my first Scarpa with the Maestrale Re-Made in 29. The Maestrale is a very comfort-oriented boot with a bit too much room for me, and was a little too soft flexing. The length was perfect, however, in 29.0. The Quattro felt like I was trying to put on my wife's boots in the "same" size. They are easily a half to full size smaller than average (see Evo's BSL chart for reference - 8-15 mm shorter BSL than most other hybrid boots in the same size, and it's a standard style GripWalk sole)

Now I'm hoping this other issue is due to the shorter-than-normal length, but they fit much more snug across the last as well, at least out of the box without baking them. Almost feel like some Atomic Hawx Ultra, which are listed sub-100 mm.

So I'm disappointed that I ordered a 29.0 and have to go through the whole process of ordering the larger size, hopefully not missing out on more ski time while I wait. Really hoping the 29.5 will do the trick, since the 30 is sold out..

To Scarpa - you should list your boot's BSL with the size chart on here. Some people's bindings don't have much adjustment room and some people can't justify re-drilling skis.

I think I finally have a boot that was designed for my long skinny foot. I'm 6'3" with size 12.5 shoes. I got the 29.5 boots and it's like they were designed for what my boot fitter refers to as "my lizard feet." I have a low volume foot. I added a extra orthotic footbed to these boots and they are working great. I'm using them on some DPS Wailers, huge powder skis with ATK Evo 12 Raiders.. I'm very please with them both for resort and backcountry skinning expeditions. I'm a ski patroller so the walk mode is great for hanging out up top as well as some of those longer hauls with lots of walking. One of the hidden benifts is that they are easy to get into! Much easier than my regular alpine boots which is a total struggle. A Win Win Win boot.

Once I dialed in the fit, these boots were great for me. I could not translate the sizing from my maestrale boots; the performance fit was terrible for my circulation and comfort. I worried about bumping up a size, had I just picked the wrong boot? With a little more room though, I still benefited from the stiffness and the forward lean, but didn't have to suffer the performance fit.
