As new, never worn. Can take a step-in or strap crampon.
Similar style to a La Sportiva Trango and similar fit, on the narrow side of medium. Gore-Tex liner and Vibram sole.
Good boots for NZ summer or the Alps. Light, with a nice technical fit.
$150 including postage in Australia.

Is that trango evo s? If so what would you judge the fit compared to that boot?

The Trango Evo S does not have a welt on the front for step-in crampons, whereas these do, but otherwise they're probably similar.
I haven't tried the Trango Evo S anyway, but I'd say these are like a slightly(?) wider Trango Extreme - a little less burly and a little lower in the cuff? These also have a relatively flat sole, not as much rocker as some, so better for rock and ice, not so much for long walking, though they're soft up in the cuff.
I take a 47 in all Sportiva boots and they usually fit me well. These fit me well too, they'er nice boots, I just have too many boots and have not needed these :-)

How wide are they across the widest part?
Also why did you buy a climbing boot from a company that only specializes in ski boots?

97mm across the sole, about 105mm in the upper above that?
I judge each item on its quality, suitability and fit, regardless of brand.
