Scarpa's new Boostic

The updated Boostic is definitely a more refined product than the original, being lighter, stretching less and being much easier to wear in than its predecessor. That said, it is a very different shoe, offering much more sensitivity, but in turn not offering quite so much support. As a result it will suit some but not others. If you were a fan of the original, there's a chance you'll like it, but there's an equal chance you'll be a little disappointed. If you didn't like the original, or had never worn it, and are after something that is good on edges then they're definitely worth trying on. Fit, after all, is the most important factor of all when it comes to determining whether or not they work for you.
