Heyup. Has anyone had experience of either the 3 or 4000 Eiger? Specifically fit maybe compared to Scarpa or Sportiva? Can’t get them in the U.K. so I’d rather have some info before ordering abroad. Thanks in advance.

How do you know they fit your foot?

In reply to olddirtydoggy:

Not sure what you mean? I know how Sportiva and Scarpa fit me so I was wondering if anyone had experience of Zamberlan to compare. 

In reply to droites:

I would say they fit fairly similar to Sportiva as far as width.  The Zamberlan’s might run a little big, I have 44.5 Eiger 4000 and am in a 45   Trango Cube.

In reply to droites:

I mean would you buy a boot without trying it on? Regardless of feedback on here there's no way of knowing if it actually fits till you lace it up. Last season I tried about 5 pairs on, some the same brand and ended up with something I didn't go in to get. For me at least, fit is everything. Good luck either way.

In reply to olddirtydoggy:

You might have to... And you can even get it right, with luck and good research.

I know, as I've done it quite a few times.

Thanks. Exactly the info I’m after. I’m a solid 42 inc my Nepal Cubes. Just don’t get on with Cubes unfortunately. How do you find the 4000’s in general?

Many thanks for the help. 

In reply to olddirtydoggy:

Sometimes you have to. Like this case the boots aren’t even available in the U.K.  Not ideal but sometimes has to be done. 

In reply to droites:

They have treated me quite well. I’m on my second pair, the first was an old red pair, i now have to first gen orange, now there is a new version with a carbon shank that makes it nice and light.  I’d put it’s performance right up with Phantom guides and Batura’s.  Warm, stiff, walk ok.
