They're replacing mine as well and have two day shipped a new pair. Hopefully it is indeed true that this year's are more durable.
Anybody have a pair of this year's boots that have cracked?
For me it solved the last remaining nitpicky issues Ive had with the boots and I couldn't be happier. I am 27,5 she'll with a 28 wrap. Thick footbeds.Quote:

No problems to report.
Well this is good news. Hopefully they hold up! New boots should be arriving today for me.Quote:

Mine have developed the cracks (bummer after I spoke so highly of them), but are still usable. Would prefer to keep skiing them as I need them for work until new ones arrive.
Bummer dude. I had to send mine back but I asked to send them after the replacements had arrived. They asked for a credit card number in case I didn't return the old ones but were happy enough to oblige.Quote:

Yup drilled the ends of the cracks to keep them from expanding too much and reached out to Scarpa Europe. We'll see what they say, initial contact sounded positive.
Mine cracked near the toe earlier this winter after about 30-40 days on them. I reached out to the warranty department and I had a brand new pair shipped to me within a couple weeks. I didn't have to send in my cracked pair. Stoked on their customer service but hoping the new pair holds up better.
any update?Quote:

In Europe, so slightly different warranty policies. I need to send them in to get new lowers. I'd be more upset, but I do have around 200 days on them
And.... Scarpa issues a recall for Maestrale from fall 2017 run - info here: https://unofficialnetworks.com/2019/...lty-ski-boots/Quote:

No problems with my fall 2018 RS2 - think they just figured out they needed a thicker mold at that point or something.
I’ve got an email in to them but no reply yet on procedure.

Same. I can only imagine they're completely flooded with requests right now.Quote:

Was provided a return shipping label to send boot shells only in for “repair”. Returning in 1-3 weeks.Quote:

Half correct. ANY number of dots = Fall 2018 production run = no recall. No dots = fall 2017 run = recall.Quote:

My RS shells have 3 dots. My wife's orange shells have 5 dots. The orange shell on Scarpa's recall page has 9 dots. All are from 2018 production run, thus not subject to recall.
Woah. Hi Steve
: )
I noticed Telemark Pyrenees is highlighting the Maestrale RS 2020 on their front page.
I can't decipher marketing blurb like :
or :Quote:
For 2020 Scarpa have updated their Maestrale / Gea range of ski touring / freeride boots, the best-selling AT boots ever produced. The latest generation boots push the envelope of what is possible with models that are lighter, stiffer and even more ergonomic for efficient backountry performance. The Maestrale RS is a stiffer and more powerful version of the popular Maestrale and the latest iteration raises the intersection of freeride performance and backcountry functionality. The Maestrale RS has a stiff yet light carbon-infused Grilamid shell as well as an all-new power strap featuring RECCO Technology for increased avalanche searchability.
anyone know what's changed, apart from the new blue color?Quote:
Scarpa Cayman Pro Sole
Asymmetric Spoiler XT
Thor Buckle
Evo V-Frame
Air Ventilation
Spped Lock Plus
Web Frame Carbon Design
BI-Injection Shell
Power Strap Plus

Dynafit Certified Tech Inserts
I think they added some pebax to the shell mix.Quote:
