Comments in the thread by Hayden below seem to indicate that this boot runs long (the clog is one size larger than the equivalent size of Quattro), although it has a thick liner. I did not size up in the F1 GT for width but for length. My feet measure US 13

I found I had to loosen them more than slightly (but I didn't take them out all the way) to get enough clearance to slide the thing up and down. There are grooves that it catches/settles into

Hi, just got a pair of size 31 F1 GT that fit me better than any other boot. Maybe I'm still in the honeymoon phase, but I'm wondering if other scarpa models would work for me as my freeride boot. For me, the 31 was a size-up because I heard the F1 GT/LT/XT all run a bit short. Typically I've fit into size 29 in Fischer and Dynafit touring boots, although my feet have changed slightly over the years. I know the answer to fit questions is to try them on and shell fit, BUT do you think the 29.5/30 new Maestra...

Please tell us more about the toe elasticity! It sounds very cool.

They work. They will eventually break, especially if you force them into service on ice where you should be walking in crampons. Eventually the pins holding the bar on loosen, or the metal cracks. Still, essential in certain crusty conditions.
