Looking at getting a pair of B3's for this winter and hopefully some stuff in the alps this summer. Currently using Scarpa SL actives year round and I was wondering which boots would fit fairly similar to this? 

Ideally looking for something with a fairly square toe box and comfy.

I'd like to order a few to try on but given I'm a broke climber don't want to splash out on 10 pairs even if i am gonna send most back straight away

Scarpa use names for their lasts, so check the last for your current boots and see? I bought my current B3 Mont Blancs because they had the same last (NAG) as my well fitting B2 Triolet.

EDIT: Autocorrect typo

I’ve used sl’s for years. I’ve found Nepal extremes also fit me but I do find the soles very unforgiving on the balls of my feet although most people I know with these boots don’t have this issue.

I also found freney’s and cumbres fitted so I suspect Mont blancs will also. You may want to consider getting B2. More comfort and fine up to around UK grade V or so. B3 definitely take a greater toll on my feet.
