S+W Verdict:
“Super happy these have arrived and not disappointed with them! We’ve been involved with Fitwell for a number of years on the snow side, and have always been blown away with their quality and attention to detail. Super quality and although I’m normally a 7.5 to 8? the 8 is perfect so may be slightly small sized? “

Bought for paragliding and review based on half a dozen sessions. Features a no nonsense lace-up system with covering zippered closure which leaves a very streamlined tidy boot with nothing to get lines snagged up on. Unbelievably light, great support / grip and super comfy. Can’t fault them.
