Greg McCandless's review

Even though these say LV for Low Volume, the last width is 99mm, which is medium and fits most feet. The cabrio style developed by Dalbello yields the most comfortable boot on the market - I know because I own them! There is nothing like stepping into a cabrio boot hands-free. The Free edition of this boot is lighter and has tech inserts for backcountry freeriders who need to be able to skin uphill to access epic terrain. The 3D wrap liners are also the most comfortable (I wish more companies would use them), making this the ideal freeride boot in my opinion.
