Sole. Used them lots and sent friends there. They are great.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@Mother hucker, I have bought boots for self and/or family members from each. Both are terrific and have very good aftercare. However, if I was forced to choose one it would be Sanglard. Probably difficult to define why, just overall experience. I suspect there is a generational element to it.
If you fancy a day up north, I bought my last touring boots from Backcountry at Otley. Very good fitter with an extensive range. A long way from Chamonix if you need adjustments!

Id love nothing more than to go to Backcountry at Otley. My issue though, current boots are a size 25.5 which were fine at 1st(got them cheap from another snowhead may as.well say never worn) now they're packed out, theyre too big and i really need a smaller size. Looking at backcountrys stock levels on line they have nothing in a 24 or 24.5

Both will be good. I would say SOLE just because I know several people who've used them and been very happy. Book James if you can.
Concept are well reviewed but I had a fitting done by one of the Nicklasses. Whilst they were very friendly (free beer!) and seemed to know their stuff, there is still a fair bit wrong with the boot that I would've expected a bootfitter to have noticed. I might be being pernickety though, and I do intend to go back and talk to them about it.
