Not dynafit compatible but what a steal for only $288 free shipping, wow! Really good buy for someone looking to get into AT. For that price, I might reconsider Dynafits for my next ski and stick it out with freerides if they had my size :lol:

Oh, while I have your attention, lighter weight MegaRide for under $200!!! Unreal...

For the Scarpa feet in the house, the Denali TT at only $242 :eek:

Almost all sizes in stock on these boots. They have 124 of the Scarpas still in stock, yikes. I think the market spoke load and clear this past season in regards to what consumers want in AT boots and same ole same ole is not cutting it!

Seriously great deals for those interested in AT.

I'm not buying AT boots this year, but out of curiosity do you fit them like alpine boots or go more to shoe size?

AT boots are mondo sized just like alpine boots so sizing will be somewhat similar (i.e. don't go by street shoe size or the boot will be waaay too big). But just like alpine, different manufacturers have different fits. This is really true in the AT world as many people either a Garmont or a Scarpa fit but will rarely fit well in both brands. Nice to have Dynafit and Black Diamond pushing the boundaries now so there are more good options on fitting.
