Skiing magazine: "Scarpa's versatile three-buckle women's boot was surprisingly stiff for even our strong female testers. A spacious toe box keeps the toes warm and loose while the Scarpa-specific Intuition liners hug the ankles well."

Backcountry (Sept. 07) "I found this boot as powerful as the Diva and I didn't miss the fourth buckle. The light, comfortable fit would definitely be my pick for traveling long distances in the backcountry, especially if steep terrain is on the agenda. The shell's rigidity took some of the laid-back finesse out of my turns, pushing me into a more aggressive, racer-like stance. Like the Diva, the Star Lite has dual-injection technology that lays down thicker Pebax plastic where you need rigidity and thinner layers elsewhere to save weight, making these firm boots feel feather light."
