Hey all,
I have a near new pair of Scarpa Freney XT boots in size 46 for sale.
I purchased these around October 2008, but they haven't seen a lot of use.
They were used for a few training (and breaking in) walks late 2008, and then were used for a 10day Technical Mountaineering Course with Alpine Guides in New Zealand in Jan 2009. After that they didn't get worn for a long time as I had a foot injury. I tried them on a trip to the Vic Alps in August last year, but after the accident my foot changed enough that I can't tolerate wearing them for even a short trip anymore. They haven't been worn since.
They are in good condition, both the soles and the uppers show only light signs of wear.
These boots are fully rigid, so suitable for a "Cramp-o-matic", step-in style crampon binding. They have an asymmetrical last, which surprisingly gives them the ability to deal with medium-wide feet, but work for narrower feet too. I don't reckon they'd work for someone with superwide feet (thats my problem with them now).
The ankle is well articulated, so you get what I reckon is a nice level of support but still have plenty enough flexibility for flat footing or climbing on rock.
These boots are easily warm enough for NZ summer trips, and I saw a few pairs out and about around Canada during March while ice climbing, but I certainly wouldn't recommend them for regular use much below -10.
As fully rigid boots go, they are lighter than many other leather/synthetic options out there (eg La Sportiva Nepals).

When purchased they had the outrageous retail price of $800AUD. Obviously that's a sign of the Aussie markets' normal problems with imported gear. I'm asking $300, but if you're interested, post here or send me a PM.
If you're in Adelaide, I can arrange a try on.
Cheers,
- Mike
