Awesome boot but be advised 12-27-07

Anonymous: rating

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.

not for wide feet 01-03-08

Climber Jack (2): rating

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.

It's a Compromise 10-27-08

Matt Hart (64): rating

as i graduated from slack country to banishing lifts from my life all together i moved to dynafit. however i still wanted a stiff enough boot to ski hard in the backcountry. for that this boot is sufficient, but not perfect. the description says "awesome freeride strength", but i disagree. if you are a serious hard charge or "freerider", you will need more boot most likely. i lean toward wanting more boot and not caring so much about every ounce weight-wise. i'd agree with the description of "feather-light". it's garmont's lightest four-buckle alpine touring boot. for me coming from alpine boots this boot is super light. and the "amazing comfort" i'd say is short lived as it has been pretty packed out quicker than i would have hoped. my bottom line: it's a great in between boot, for someone who is willing compromise on both weight and performance - because you can't have both!

Holding Up Well Over Time 02-10-08

tongaroo (9): rating

I've owned these boots for over two years, and I'm very happy with them. There are more and more 4-buckle Dynafit compatible boots coming out, and the Mega-Rides are still holding their own since the ratio of stiffness-to-weight is very high. I use them equally at the resort and in the BC, and they work well at both...still the gold standard of 4-buckle, Dynafit compatible boots, as far as I'm concerned.

NOTE: color is different. 10-09-09

Rich Fahey (34): rating

These are great boots overall, and have a bit of a wider fit, however, the color is different than pictured. They are more of a metallic purple color rather than blue.
