A woman with big feet is justifiably afraid she’ll have a hard time finding a comfortable fit. What should cause her equal concern is whether the boot that seems to fit her can also provide the support necessary to convey her downhill.
The Ten.2 W models address both issues. The fit is generous from the wide entry aperture, through the instep and down to the toes. An adjustment on the low-cut, scalloped rear spoiler allows it fan open an additional 12mm; if you need it, you know it and you’ll want it. Just as important as its relaxed fit, the Ten.2 W’s, particularly in their stiffer flexes (95W, 85W), are stout enough to make advanced technique attainable.
Tecnica’s Ten.2 W’s are so well padded, they’ll feel perfectly marvelous on smaller feet that would fare better in a less oceanic environment. If you don’t really fill up the Ten.2, consider trying on a Mach 1 W MV. as a check on your width requirements. Remember, big boots never get smaller…
