Hi Paul, It's some time since you posted the comment but here is my opinion relevant to the latest: If you truly want the lightest order Pierre Gignoux boots - they are pretty durable too if you are mostly skiing and taking care of them (not throwing them around in your garage). Then there are plenty of great choice when you go 100-300g heavier - LaSportiva Stratos, Dynafit Dyna or TLT 5 boots, or the new Scarpa Alien series.

Merrel’is are very popular in Italy where they are made. I have heard they ski Ok (compared to the Trab which skis exceptionally) and they do break more easily than most others. I have seen several broken pairs. They are cool and very light though and their new tech binding (a friend has it) looks sensational and is also the lightest out there.

My vote is the Pierre Gignoux Boot. My wife and I both have a pair and the full carbon boot skis so well down hill, precisely transferring power edge to edge. Scarpa is still trying to come out with their own all carbon boot and the flex under the ball of the foot is an energy suck in my opionion–I had the F1 race’s for a year before the Gignoux’s. I visited Pierre Gignoux’s work shop and am posting photos the http://www.ussma.org. He has a top secret new advances already that can be adapted to the 444. If you want a pair for next season, order now! or atleast before june so you wont be dissapointed. These boots rock! The weight savings in substantial, even against the F1 carbon!
