We have tested this boot previously (as both the Scott and formerly Garmont Delirium) and so we knew that much of this boot's potential was hidden beneath its stock fore-aft stance set up. The forward lean of the boot is adjustable--not easily, but once done will remain so—but it comes in a more forward than average setting, for what reason we aren't sure. Every tester agreed that the boot stood, fit and skied better in the more upright setting.
This boot is a touring tank. It is strong on edge and stable through all sorts of snow (once that forward lean has been set upright, testers who didn't make that change didn't find the boot's strength as the cuff collapsed under load.) The Delirium fits short in length as well as low through the instep and over the top of the foot, yet offers a wide forefoot feel. There were a few testers who found this a highly likeable fit arrangement, but most mentioned that they would go up one size to find the sort of relaxed fit tension and toe comfort they were expecting from a 103 mm last.
