I struggled to find doubles for my size 14-15 feet to use on my trip to Aconcagua. I tried the Lowa Civetta's but just wasn't feeling the fit with the Intuition Denali liners. I waited until a shipment of these rolled in at Whittaker and snagged a size 49. I would say the width at first seemed narrow and that is consistent with a few other reviews I've read. Once I started moving around though, they fit like a glove. I was a bit sketched that they would be too snug at Altitude, but I went with them and they worked out perfectly. They are seriously like ninja boots compared to classic double plastics for mobility. My feet were also one of the warmest parts of my body during the climb with expedition weight socks and thin liners. We were successful on our summit attempt via the Polish Glacier and the Baruntse played a major role. I would note that my crampon straps with the Grivel G12 are at their length limit with these 49's. I'm currently modding my straps so I have a bit extra length to grab. The joys of having boats for feet.
