Ni review J. 42 sound small for you? Is the sizing right or would have you preferred the 43?

Binding wise, they seem somehwat stuck between two chairs; They're compatible with Switchback, but not designed for Switchback-style steep turns. They're not compatible with 3-pin (allegedly), but ideal for 3-pin style K&G over varied terrain. Indeed, it makes the most sense if you transport a heav...

TheMusher & co., Some extra thoughts about the Lundhags. I'd like to emphasize that the sole used on the Lundhags is the same as found on ALL other thermomolded 75mm VIBRAM soles. So there is nothing distinctive here about the sole construction of this boot and any point in comparing to other therm...

I appreciate what you say Bgreg, but due to the above, I can't help to think they must be working well with a switchback?

@TheMusher Does your Lundhags Expedition 75 have a 3pin duckbill? Some versions of this boot do not have the NN 3pin holes and can only be used with a cable binding...

Comparisons with your 42s in other models will always have t...

There you go, there they are!

@jyw5 won't not just order the, from esker, seems a lot simpler and according to Paul's wishes.

Here's something: I suggest against coming up with sizing theories based on Rottefella sole size or foot bed length. Although close, these do not line up perfectly with recommend foot size. Each boot design is different, based on its on mold, and is a combination of a different amount of layers that...
