So for the last couple years I have been using the Rossignol Evos and I can say that I really love these boots. It is a great boot for novice to intermediate skiers, as it has a soft flex. It also has a last width of 104 mm, so it fits a variety of different sized feet but it fits medium to wide feet very well. If someone isn’t used to skiing or doesn’t like the feel of skiing boots, these boots would be the ones for them. The evos have three aluminum buckles and the top buckle is adjustable so you can tighten it to the way that fits you perfectly. There has been a couple of problems I have had with these boots. One of the problems I have is the after some use, the polyolefin shell starts to peel where the boot rubs against each other. The other problem is the paint on the buckles are starting to come off. But these problems will not affect the performance of the boot. So throughout my use of the boots, I haven’t had any performance problems and I have been using them for a couple years. Even though they say this boot is for beginners and intermediate skiers, I believe this boot would work well with an advanced skier. I am more of an advanced skier and because the boot is comfortable, it works very well for me. Personally, I would recommend this boot to anyone, especially someone who is trying to get used to ski boots.
