Hi Lish, after further discussion with skimo.co I came to a conclusion that Stratos probably would not work for my foot type (low instep, low ankle and heel volume, wide forefoot). Sorry, I can't help. Try asking your question again and use "Ask a question" instead of "Answer this question" to make sure the skimo staff answers it. Good luck!

How does the sizing work with these? Is the 29.5 shell a 29.0/29.5 or a 29.5/30.0?

Update #2: Against my better judgment I got another pair of these boots. I liked their fit (after modifications) too much I guess and wanted to believe the first pair was just a lemon. This is the picture of the right one after less than 10 days of use. Funny enough, I've developed a spur on my left inner ankle since and had to have the left shell punched close to the area where these cracks occur. No breakage on that boot but, as I said, I didn't use them much over the bad last winter. That's enough of A...

How does the sizing and fit of these compare to the Skorpius CR? Would punching them void the warranty? TIA

Is it possible to replace Gara Titan WC titanium U-springs with the 4 mm or 4.5 mm steel ones to decrease the bindings' vertical release value?
