Those Andrew boots look beautiful.
I hope to try on a pair some day.
So, do they not make a NNN BC boot?
I didn’t see any on their website.

Nah you're out of luck bro. Consider yourself lucky if you can even find a 75mm pair new in your size. In québec we would say "cé rar com la mard de pap".

Not only do Andrew boots look good they are good!....My North Rims lasted till I blew them up which took longer than most...Comfortable...oh yes!....great boots and back when I got them they even had a magazine with all their product and it all looked good...Also they had many more boots to choose from...If I could I'd order the Zenith right away...TM

I got my Andrew Zenith from Cannatonic who bought 2 from this store in Australia (correct me if I am wrong Canna)

I have only use them once this fall in a very tiny layer of snow over a pastured field. I took them for a few turn and it really felt like those have a lot of power for a leather boot. The buckle really helps to keep your heel low and you can easily change the settings depending if you are touring or dh. It is way lighter than the Ski March and way more comfortable. Will post more on it hopefully in less than 2 weeks

long time lurker here. Although you may have trouble buying the Antarctica I have the same issue and some experience so I thought I'd chime in. I have the Alaska and the Antarctica and a low volume foot with a wide forefoot and narrow heel so I think I share your pain. I have a fairly heavy season of long tours for turns (and lots of climbing) on the Alaskas and loved them so much I bought a second pair on an end of season sale, old ones are still fine but I've read the failure stories and carry extra tape in case. I bought the Antarctica for mushier late season turns and an alternate for touring. I had to go down form a 42.5 in the Alaska to a 41 in the Antarctica. It is taking much longer to break in but both are now confirming to my heel pretty well, I do use a custom foot bed.

The Fey bros were very very helpful by email, we had different shipping issues in our remote area as covid rolled in and they were understanding and accommodating as well as knowledgeable about the distributors of the boots so I suggest you contact them if you are interested but..size down!

I love the look of the Andrew so I will keep lurking and following to see what other boots I "need".

Thank you Fursty Ferret!
I have the BC version of the Svartisen.
good to hear that you are pleased with the 75 mm version.
Which binding and ski are you using with Svartisen 75?

Hey Windskier- thank you for your post!
You were able to get an Alaska in a 42.5EU?
Interesting that you need a smaller size in the Crispi...
I have two Crispi boots- one BC (Svartisen) one 75 (Lofoten)- both of which have the exact same footbed length- and are consistent with the footbed length of a 42EU Alaska BC.
What do you think the difference in last/shape is between the Antartic and the Alaska 75 that required you to size-down in the Antartic?
(This is very helpful as I am seriously considering an Antartic/Bre.)
