Spirit 3

[tinnerdelux]

Anybody here have any beta on the Scarpa Spirit 3 AT boot? I am unable to find any reviews on this boot. Thanxs for any and all help.

[ATP]

The Backcountry Mag reviewers said it was their favorite AT boot out there (from a touring for turns perspective). Of course, you need to have a Scarpa foot to reap the benefits. Megarides would be the logical alternative.

Thanxs for the feed back ATP.I already tried on a pair of the Scarpas at the shop i frequent and got a good fit so thats not an issue.What i did not want was to buy a boot that had not been tested or reviewed and had any major problems.On the other hand i have heard all good about the Megarides and the TTs but the shop did'nt have them in stock.So for $400.00 i think ill pull the trigger on the Spirit 3s. thanks again

Thank you for the heads up on the reviews.Now i have to weigh the +s and -s to see if the boots are worth it.I'm kind of like the reviewer at
sierra decents in that i like things to work well out of the box.It sounds like the biggest issue was the "last" and i did not feel that while walking around the shop.As i mentioned before the fit was good. The issue with the wonky forward lean I belive can be fixed by swapping the tounge from the tornados which is stiffer. All in all still alot to think about. Thanxs again
