Good day everyone,
Last month I booked a Dall sheep hunt for this August in the brooks range. Outfitter recommended Scarpa boots for this trip. With that in mind I purchased the one KUIU had Rebel and R-Evolutions in a 1/2 size bigger as recommended.
Once I got them, the R-Evolution felt the best between the two so I returned the Rebels. The R-Evolutions are tight fitting especially in the toe box however after walking about 40 miles in them the past few weeks my feet get hot spots and also left foot feels cramped. If I take and kick the toe down, my toes hit the front of the boots.
I never had any of these "mountaineering" style boots so I am not sure if they are suppose to fit this way. I am concerned that these will cause some issues during my trip.
I am also thinking about doing the L&S custom fitting, however concerned with the length of time it will take and might be pushing it too close. Does anyone have any recommendation on boots that I could purchase and try on or any other suggestions?
Thanks
