I am looking at this shoes also for my girlfriend. Can you give some impressions about the sole? Does it feel stiffer than the Alaska as well? Can you squeeze the shoe/sole with your hands only or do you need to put the shoe on the ground and use your body weight? A stiff sole with torsional rigidit...

I normally use EU 44 for Crispi and Alpina and they fit very well. I tried an Alfa Guard and an Alfa Kikut and they felt very different and not at all adapted to my feet.

Two days ago I went on a little trip in Nordmarka (30 minutes north of Oslo) after some snowfalls. Mainly 10 cm new wet snow with the following setup: Åsnes Gamme (68-54-61) in 190cm, Åsnes Nylon skins 30mm, BC binding, Crispi Stetind.
