The Quattro is ideal for a medium-width foot. You should be able to get a comfortable fit with a wider foot, but it may take a heat mold and some work on the shell to get it totally dialed in!

Weight and skier ability definitely play into it. This Scarpa boot sits alongside other hybrid boots like the Atomic Hawx, Lange XT3, and the Tecnica Cochise. All these boots will ski like an aggressive 130 Flex alpine boot. The reason we are excited by the Quattro is that it is lighter than these other options and has a larger range of motion. This means that compared to most other boots in its category it can actually uphill well. For anyone looking for the absolute best downhill performance in the backcountry, these hybrid boots are a great option.

The Quattro has a 100 mm last while the F1 has a 102 mm last. We've found the fit of these two boots to be similar, with the biggest difference being a more defined heel pocket in the Quattro, so if the F1 is a good fit the Quattro would be a safe bet. You could also check out the Tecnica Zero G Pro, which has a narrower fit than either of the Scarpa boots.

@@cripplecreekbackcountry6800 THanks for the fast and helpful reply! I only had the possibility to try in the Zero G Scout which I believe uses the same shell as the Pro and I was floating around at the mid foot area in that boot compared to the F1 for some reason. I think I will pull the trigger on the Quattros. Thanks again!

@@TJ-gh6cg Did you end up getting the Quattro? How do you feel it compares to the F1?

@@boardie00 yep. I get a lot more hold around my ankle with the buckles instead of the Boa closure. I have to say the fit of the f1 was not perfect for me as my ankle could move a bit too much. It's slightly less volume and for sure improved power transfer in harsh conditions or on piste compared to the F1. In walk mode when you open the upper buckles and find a good position for the lower buckles, for me they are nearly indistinguishable. Although it is easier and faster to switch between the right tightness for ascending and descending with the boa. I can't keep the two lower buckles in the same position for skinning and descending and sometimes it would be more optimal if there were in between steps for the buckles after coming from the boa system. Because loosening them one step after descending they barely have any tension whatsoever which sort of doesn't feel secure enough in some terrain so I keep them closed in "descending" position which is actually a bit uncomfortable. So i sometimes end up microadjusting the buckles when switching between skinning/descending which costs a slight amount of time.
