I've recently upgraded my equipment from beginner stuff I learned to ski on to intermediate/advanced more appropriate to my level, and these boots feel great. I have a very narrow foot and these work well for me. I've also added a pair of surefeet liners to fit my high arches. It has been very cold here, and my feet haven't felt cold once even on 12F days.
