Description of Garmont Mega-Ride Alpine Touring Ski Boot - Men's:
Step into the Garmont Men's Mega Ride Alpine Touring Boot and prepare for feather-light tours, awesome freeride strength, and amazing comfort. The new G-fit3 liner incorporates a lace-up system for better fit and three different foam densities with a more heavily padded tongue and cuff for better support and responsiveness. The Mega Ride Boot packs innovative function with the new ultra light magnesium buckles and the serrated Icebreaker function on the lower two buckets that cuts right through hours of frozen build-up that accumulates during your tours. The Mega Ride is Garmont's lightest four-buckle alpine touring boot, so lock in to either your Dynafit or AT bindings and get out there. NOTE: Be sure to check out our sizing chart for optimal fit.
Bottom Line: Lap everyone else on the way up and on the way down with the burly Garmont Mega Ride AT Boot.

Awesome boot but be advised 12-27-07

I recently purchased the Mega Ride 30.0 boots and they fit like a glove, just a little too much.
I'm posting this review to let others know that these boots do not have much volume in the lower foot.
Super light, great buckle system, nice walk mode, very comfortable liner but just too tight. I decided to return these and get the Scarpas that have much more volume in the lower foot area. If you have small to medium width foot the Mega Ride will be awesome.
If your foot is even slightly wide this will be too tight, and I'm not sure going a half size larger will solve the problem. I got mine a half size larger to start with, and I was shocked at how tight this boot was across the forefoot. I'm not talking a little tight, I'm talking painfully tight. Is this a lady's design? I cannot buy this boot. As a reference, the Scarpa Pro Tornado was also too tight, so maybe its me. It seems like only the Germans make boots wide enough for me, which is unfortunate since the Italians are the master bootmakers.

(Female reviewer) I want to love 'em, but... 03-12-08
I ordered the women's in 24.5, my normal size. The length would have been perfect, but the size of the toe box is as big as a pea. I tried the men's, of course they are wider, but I also found the toe box STILL seemed small (albeit not nearly as bad as the women's). Maybe just not the boot for me.
