Intro
The 4-Quattro was initially designed as a freeride boot, but during the development phase, and then again on the snow, it proved to be perfect for long tours on all types of terrain and for all types of skiers. Last year we marked it down due to its GripWalk sole, which we thought wasn't able to tackle tough, rocky terrain. After a year of use, we changed our minds. As things stand, you'd be hard pushed to find a better balance between uphill and downhill performance.
Walking
The low pivot point is an advantage; walking feels very natural and friction free, both when skinning and when walking. The cuff rotation is almost excessive when considering the type of skis you would pair with this boot. When bootpacking, the GripWalk sole creates a lurching motion around the forefoot, but it doesn't affect its efficiency or use when scrambling or on technical terrain.
Lab
The fit is very tight; in most cases heat molding is necessary to gain a degree of comfort. It's halfway between a cabrio and an overlap design. The first makes it easy to put on, the second wraps your foot and shin once the buckles are closed. The plastic flaps on the cuff are a little more fiddly than a straight overlap boot. The liner is very well made, as is the Booster strap—one of the best of the bunch.
Skiing
This boot raises the bar for downhill performance. There is little volume to play with, the foot is locked into the shell with no slop. The only area with even a little room for maneuver is around the toes, which are able to move a bit to increase comfort. This boot is very low to the ground, which is a real advantage in the backcountry, when tackling different types of snow, on chop, or where visibility is limited. The flex is very progressive and supportive; it doesn't deform even with a pair of race skis on a freshly groomed piste first thing in the morning. A piece of advice: get your usual size, don't worry if it seems a little tight, the liner adapts quickly, and you'll feel the difference when you're skiing.
