I am a full time ski patroller at a small southeastern resort. I'm usually in by boots for long periods at a time and for many days each season. I bought these at mid season last year to replace my Atomic CR 10's which were beginning to show a lot of wear and tear. (Worn liners, soles, and a missing buckle.) I am a large person who skis aggressively. I also have a very wide foot. These boots fit well and are quite comfortable. They are also very good on the snow. It seems to me that they have a tiny bit more agressive stance than my old boots, but not so much that it tires my quadriceps out as some aggressive boots have done in the past. When these boots wear out, I'll probably replace them with something similar. As a patroller, I receive a professional discount on equipment, so I cannot objectively evaluate value for the money.
