<description>Garmont Adrenalin Alpine Touring Ski Boot - Men&#x27;s&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I&#x26;#39;m hearing different opinions on Garmonts sizing.  I wear a 9.5 shoe.  Would a 27 mondo be loo large?  Also, how would these ride with some Marker baron&#x26;#39;s 75% resort, 25% BC.  Thanks for any info!</description>

I&#x26;#39;ve got ones Scarpa Matrix whit a great battles and I&#x26;#39;m searching someone more straigth in foot... I&#x26;#39;m look Dynafit Zzero 4ct (carbon tongue) and Garmont Radium (no carbon but w/ overlap)... I think it are the betters compromise up/down/weigth in the market... Both are made in Pebax but one have Carbon strips and the other is overlap construction, then which is stiffest in downhill? I practise a allmountain ski... 1000-1500m ( maybe 4000 feets &#x26;iquest;?)uphill and little freeride downhills, until 45&#x26;ordm; +/-. Also, I valore Dynafit ZZeus... but is a little heaviest for me...&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Lets Radium a good uphill maniobrability dua to overlap?&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Thank, and sorry for my english...</description>

<description>Black Diamond Shiva Alpine Touring Boot - Women&#x27;s&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Can anyone tell me which size increments represent increased shell size and which are only an increase in the liner?  Specifically, I&#x26;#39;m interested in the range from 24-27.  Does each half size have a unique shell size?  Or does the shell only increase for each full size increment (if that makes any sense)?</description>

<description>Black Diamond Factor Alpine Touring Boot - Men&#x27;s&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Can anyone compare the BD Factors, The Scarpa Typhoons, and the Garmont Shaman or Endorphin? Is there a big difference besides personal fit that I should look at? I am looking for a boot that will charge both in bounds and out of bounds while being a great climbing boot for AT. Not worried about weight.</description>

<description>Dynafit ZZero 4 C-TF Alpine Touring Boot&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;My skiing background is rooted pretty firmly in racing - I&#x26;#39;m used to boots that flex like bricks. Obviously the criteria for an AT boot is far different than a racing boot, but I&#x26;#39;m looking for an AT boot that skis stiff and that will put up with my beatings. Is this the boot I want to look long and hard at, or are there others worthy of attention?&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;A quick question as to fit. Is heat molding the liner enough? Is there enough plastic for a bit of grinding and or blowing out?&#x3C;br /&#x3E;THanks</description>
