Re: Andrew Rifugio to come! In many sizes
I went to Andrew's site, I saw that the distributor was in Quebec, I gave them a call... Voilà! The guy told me I wasn't the only one. Usually, Novafor carries Andrew Boots for climbing... And they always tell themself that they should carry some tele boots... Now is the time!

Good luck with the boots Rod. I always wanted a pair of red leather Andrews.

That is one fine looking boot! Yowza! Puts my black Alicos to shame.

Re: Andrew Rifugio to come! In many sizes
Why are almost all leathers black, and a couple red? Why no natural brown? Btw, how do those boots fit? And how does one go about resoling ski boots? Can you just purchase a new 75mm sole?
Re: Andrew Rifugio to come! In many sizes
How do Andrews fit? Wide? Narrow?

Re: Andrew Rifugio to come! In many sizes
By the look and proportions, it seems thick (at least thicker than Alaska)... well, it's a norwegian stitch type of construction.And there is 2 shanks (or midsoles). Not frail Thermo glued... I think that's the one Alpina copied for the Alaska.
As far as fit, not sure... I heard that they are on the small side of things (might want to get a size larger). These (Refugio) are the only ones they send to NAmerica — I am guessing it has something to do with toe box width (wider)... The pure Italian boots seems a little finer in width; I bought a very expensive Italian randonnée boot many years ago and they were snug in the toe box... Whatever. I will go and try them.
