| Haven't skied these yet, so I can't rate performance, but I've always been happy w/ Alpina hiking and ski boots. These appear to be well made, and provide good stiffness for their weight. They should fit an "average" foot well, w/ moderate width and volume. I found them to run slightly large if anything. I'm a 43.5 and tried both a 43 and a 44; the smaller boot fit nearly perfectly while the 44 was clearly too big. | |

Painfully uncomfortable | |

| I found these boots to be be painfully uncomfortable around the ankle. I'm giving them three stars because they are well constructed and stylish, and offer good ankle support (in my case, this was also the source of pain). Many people report that these boots are comfortable -- I wish I could say the same for me. So far, the solution I have found is to stick with my Rossignol BC X2 boots. They do not give anywhere near as good ankle support as these Alpinas, but at least they are comfortable. I've selected the option that says I would not recommend them to a friend. But, in fact, I would encourage anyone to give these boots a try. I was very disappointed that they were uncomfortable for me because they seem like very good boots. If they work out for you, I think they will serve you well for years. | |
