La Sportiva Skorpius CR, size 26.0/287mm BSL:
These boots are legendary in the backcountry touring community. Under 1200 grams, walk nearly like a skimo racing boot, but powerful enough to drive even your biggest skis (I skied my 112mm powder skis with these). They really are a single quiver touring boot.
CONDITION: These are used, good shape. Skied roughly 15-20 times in the backcountry. All parts working perfectly, and the liners have tons of life left in them (can be thermo-formed again). They are good for many more outings.
FIT: They are a performance fit, but have a wide 102mm forefoot for comfortable walking, so a solid narrow side of medium as far as fit goes. I would suggest that if you have a really high-volume foot or very high instep, these are probably not for you. This year's newer model uses a Boa dial instead or the 2-stage buckle and loses a bit of the performance fit of this original.
