In reply to beardy mike:
> It may be worth noting that Scarpa UK do not import all models from Italy, which has been a continual frustration for me. I have had a pair of Scarpa Triolets for ever and a day now because they have been absolutely perfect for my reasonably wide feet. Everything I had from them before was a disaster... shame they don't import them (unless something has changed?)
I think that that might have a lot to do with which shop you deal with. I was drawing a blank in getting a half size (supposedly not available in the UK) until I spoke to Cold Mountain Kit, who happily got a pair in for me - there is a quid pro quo of commitment (which boils down to a return fee if not suitable), but if you know what you want.....
