In reply to Carless: Ive got those old Denalis and bought the Maestralis which are much better in terms of comfort warmth and walking, and much stiffer. I tried the other cheaper options but the large amount extra was worth it, currently blasting about the Alps, and have never had such good boots, but dont wear ski boots ever.
Re walking in them ,very good, but they're all crap compared to climbing boots, same goes for climbing, apart from ice routes which aren't too hard. Mine take Grivel crampons really well, but some boots don't always take any crampon.
Re skis I bought some G3 Spitfires which are too short for me, with fritchi eagles on, used for 3 days this week PM me if interested, Ill be putting them on for sale soon.
