The G2 gets a full re-boot and creates a new option in the Scott line-up at a widely usable 90-flex in two cuff heights, a lower "M" cuff (for medium), and a more traditional height cuff, "H" (for high). This makes this a utility crossover player for both men and women as well as teens looking for a performance low-volume fit at an appropriate flex and great price.
And testers say it is a low-volume fit that grips firmly everywhere (except for the roomier toebox), so slender feet will do well in this true-to-form narrow class favorite. This year's G2 90 Powerfit comes outfitted with a completely redesigned, fully thermo-moldable liner that shaved weight and offered a more plush feel and better initial shape than previous iterations. Though testers felt the liner moving around a bit inside the shell in off-the-rack tests, once they heat-molded the EVA-foam-based liner it better matched both foot and shell interior for a locked-in fit and feel.
Though the new cosmetics gave the G2 some much needed pop, testers say that it's the way it skis that seals the deal—family G series traits of lively flex feel and agility turn to turn were plain as day, they said, and the 90 flex performed with more tooth than most other similarly rated boots.
