Stable boot
Haven’t really put these boots to the test in really rugged terrain, but I have about 16 miles into breaking them in. Very stable and seem rugged for early season hunting in the mountains. I have other Scarpa boot and the toe box is too narrow on all of them. Size up and give them a 25 mile break in period of shorter hikes, then they fit better.

Great boot
i've had great success in the past with Scarpa boots being most durable and supportive. looking forward to wearing my new R-Evolution now. Built quality is top notch, comfortable and very supportive. for a stiff hunting boot its actually very light. Width fit: Scapa's in general fit very snug so if you have a really wide foot this may not be for you, but otherwise they fit great. and as recommended by scarpa i went Up 1/2 size and it was the right move.
