    Even I found this interesting. Auto started after another video and I got sucked in. After 15 min I realized “why the fuck am I even watching this”.

    I don't doubt the Scarpa Quattro Pro (or any of the Quattros) skis well if it doesn't crush your instep . . . friends that have them love them.

    Word. Surprised they used that last. Really limits number of people that fit. But if that’s what fits you, it is unique.

    Agree. I think I have a very low volume foot and they were bordering on too tight for me. Not sure I would have wanted to take a long walk in them. Very responsive when skiing down though. No longer have them...

    " This is the best ski boot " Is a ski boot the best ski boot if it doesnt fit ?

    Dynafit to Scarpa, IME the men's sizing starts too big and they don't fit me any where near the same as Dynafit unless the fit has been changed drastically in 10 yrs, so I can't see how one would switch unless they were getting paid ???

    If they had fit I would have been all over Scarpa cuz they thro in a heat molded liner and real Dynafit fittings while i have to pay another 300$ and go thru hassles to get an Intuition liner in my Dynafit boot

    The hoji has been my favorite boot by a long shot, after one punch to line up with one ankle bone. I was considering picking up a back up pair on sale.
    Would the quattro fit compare to the older scarpa freedom 120? That gave me instep pain for the first 3 or 4 days and i may have grinded the boot board a touch. It was also wider in the heel

    I personally really like the fit on the Quattro. I'm stoked to be able to snag some later this year
