1) Is the cant adjustable on these boots? Compared with my GeaRS boots they make me a bit bow-legged!
2) The instep is definitely low volume and the second instep buckle is very tight (even with the micro adjust maxed out). Is it possible to swap out buckles for something with longer throw (men's buckle?)
SCARPA 4 Quattro XT Boot - Women
Hard-charging ladies who have been searching for the elusive “one boot quiver” can finally rejoice, SCARPA has delivered! Working with legendary ski racer Bode Miller, SCARPA set out to create a boot that could withstand the scrutiny of the pickiest ski racer while at the same time providing excellent uphill mobility. With a 115-flex rating, four-buckle construction, and GripWalk compatible sole, SCARPA certainly delivered on the downhill performance. Just as impressive, the boot has a 61-degree range of motion and low weight for its category that will make short work of big vertical days. Because warmth and comfort are equally important in a boot geared for the backcountry, SCARPA was nice enough to throw in an Intuition liner, ensuring an individualized fit. If you demand a boot with the performance worthy of an Olympic gold medalist while remaining a capable ascender, the 4 Quattro XT women’s boot won’t let you down.
- Cuff and shell are made with plant-based materials, lessening the environmental impact.
- Power strap made by Booster Strap delivers outstanding power transmission.
- Presa outsole is GripWalk compatible to open up your ski options.
- Four buckle design lets you snug it down until your heart (and foot) is content.
- Added Recco technology helps with searchability should something go awry.
- Liner is made by Intuition, helping provide an individualized fit.

Hi Ann,
Unfortunately, these boots do not have adjustable cant (most dedicated touring boots do not).
The Quattro is very tight over the instep. We have found that when you heat mold the liners, you can gain an appreciable amount of room in this area. By buckling them tighter during the liner mold, you will compress the foam in that area more. This is the first step to getting a good fit.
I would imagine that you might be able to replace the buckle with a longer one, if you could find a way to source that part (we do not have it). Also, to change ladder/buckle positions, it is somewhat common to drill a new hole in the shell, either further in or further out, and move the rivet/screw to the new hole. Of course, this will probably void your warranty.

How does the downhill performance of the 4Q XT compare to the Gea RS? The Gea RS has a slightly higher flex value of 120 but my assumption is the 4Q XT is still gonna feel a bit burlier with the overlap cuff and 4 buckles.

Mikey, I have tried on the Women's and men's of the Quattro, and couldn't really detect any flex difference as Scarpa states. They are Stiff. Comparable stiffness but different feel as you mention.

Is there any difference between the men’s and women’s versions of this boot other than the flex rating and color? I’m 5’8”, weigh 135 pounds and have small feet and would prefer the flex of the women’s boot if the shell cuff and liner are the same as the men’s version.

Michael, The only other difference is a slightly scalloped top of the liner.
