Alpina Sports Alaska Leather Backcountry Cross Country Nordic Ski Boots

I manage a cross country ski trail system in Western Colorado at 9000' with around 7 miles of groomed trail and around 300" of snow annually. I ski and working on the trails every week. I wear a size 10 shoe and got a size 43 boot. It is roomy enough to wear a thin sock and a thicker sock. With temps usually between zero and 30 degrees, so far after 5 weeks of wearing these boots, my feet have been warm and dry. I like the lacing system because they stay tight once they are tied and I wear them for 9-10 hours a day between driving to the trails, skiing for a couple hours and then grooming the trails on snowmobile. They are a heavy duty boot, but they stand up to the rough usage. I will update my review at the end of the season to see how they perform in the spring weather as well.

Better than expected! I am a skier with modeate skills. I wanted boots for sking on trails and occasionally getting out into Virgin snow and powder. These boots are excellent in comfort and quality.

Absolutely comfortable and secure BC boot. Took them out in pretty deep and wet conditions breaking a decent amount of trail for over 2 hours and my feet were warm and dry. I have used these on flat groomed surfaces as well and had no issue as long as I slightly loosened the upper part to allow more freedom of movement. The other great feature of these is the upper and lower locking eyelets for the laces that provide a secure fit for hours that also allows separate adjustments for above and below the ankle.

Perfect fit (8.5 US shoes, 42 EU boots). Extremely well made. Comfortable. These boots and wool socks have been plenty warm 0-10 degF. Really pleased with these boots.

This is a fantastic ski boot! Top quality construction and very handsome as well. My only complaint is that the lacing system is weak. You can not easily hold the tension on the forefoot area due to the way the boot laces. Not a deal breaker but could be much better.

I have been XC skiing for decades. Was afraid this would be too much boot for some of our easier days w our older pup. Not so. Really nice boot that fits my foot really well. Using with an aftermarket foot bed

I've skied about 6 long trips in these. Fantastic comfort and handling. These have also kept me totally dry, even in a full rainstorm day this last weekend. Great buy.

The best cross country boots I've had. I'm usually a true 10US or 44EU, but I bought these on 43EU which is said to be 9-91/2US, and they fit amazing. I have narrow feet though.

通常25・5センチから26センチでEEEの靴をはいていますユーロ42で若干狭い感じなので紐で調整　長さは余裕ですね厚い靴下は履けないのですが、雪上を歩いても中は暖かい靴です。

Very nice nnnbc boots. Super comfortable. And waterproof!I normally wear a size 41 in European size boots-but found that 42 fitted perfectly.
