These are the loves of my life. FINALLY ski gear is being built FOR women, instead of just being shrunk down versions of mens gear and painted pink. These boots fit snug through the heel, eliminating that ever-frustrating heel lift, which is a HUGE problem if you are trying to have a strong, smooth turn. With these boots, all that is gone. Plus, they are comfortable enough to walk around in all day, up and down hills and stairs, and are relatively light weight so you can tour with ease. Great boots, worth the investment.
