Fabric:
- Power Wrap anatomic shells are constructed around the shape of the foot and have been prepunched to accommodate common irregularities of skiers' feet
- 100% Pebax® plastic construction provides high stiffness and power without a lot of weight; Pebax plastic maintains a consistent flex in all temperatures
- Replaceable, high-density nylon bellows protectors guard against sharp ski edges
- Strobel-stitch design in the liners allows feet to sit flat for good anchoring within the liners; design also maximizes forefoot width
Support and Cushioning:
- Lace-up custom-moldable liners feature 4 different foam thicknesses and densities throughout to provide the best possible comfort and support
Insulation:
- Rear walk/ski mechanisms are simple and secure; flip the levers to the ski position for a locked-down forward lean position at 25°
Comfort:
- See an REI ski shop professional to have the liners custom molded to your feet to maximize comfort and performance
Straps:
- Wide rip-and-stick power straps wrap securely around the outside of the cuffs, distributing pressure and bringing the cuffs as close as possible to your lower legs
Pockets:
- Room for the navicular bone - typically crunched when buckling performance boot. We've punched a pocket for this bone.
Features:
- Garmont Prophet NTN telemark boot soles feature replaceable NTN binding interfaces, something only offered by Garmont
- Deep heel cup to accommodate common heel spurs
- T-Bar Pebax® tongue reinforcement on the liners enhances shin protection and helps you power forward into turns; pull loops on the front and rear ease entry and exit
- More room for the big toe - allowing the toe to point forward where it can provide the best balance.
- 3 Wide-Open buckles and catches on each boot close easily and securely; buckles swing completely open for unrestricted touring while still being held in place by the catches
- NTN boots do away with the duckbill traditionally found on telemark boots, making walking and scrambling easy; boots are compatible only with NTN bindings (sold separately)
- Room for the "6th" toe or Tailor's bunion - accommodating a typically tight spot for most skiers.
Throw on the Prophet NTN boots from Garmont to charge through the deepest powder and over the tallest cliffs. The NTN system keeps building in popularity and durabilty, and these boots have a replaceable second heel underfoot interface that extends the lifespan of your boots.
If you are a tele skier, you've been dreaming about this. A Telemark boot that feels like an extension of the foot. The new Prophet NTN uses the new Garmont Power Wrap shell. The high Overlap shell design follows the contours of the foot and ankle more precisely than traditional tongue designs for the most responsive, progressive flex. The Power Wrap shell fits out of the box like bootfitter has already customized it. The shell wraps very close to the foot and has been punched and shaped to fit the anatomy of the human foot.
Garmont Prophet NTN telemark boots are a free-heel skier's dream. They feature a smooth forward flex, alpinelike torsional rigidity and a round toe for easy walking.

Garmont Prophet NTN Boot Reviews:
Positive Reviews:
This is my third year on the Prophets. I have the older model with the softer flex. The boots themselves are well built and work well. I sized for comfort after years of race fits. That may be the issue.
I wear a size 9-9.5 in street shoes, and went on the high end of the sizing spectrum to a 27.5. They feel right, lengthwise, but I have major heel lift issues. A full length shim helped, but it took up too much room in the toebox and cramped my feet. I ended up cutting up a shim and putting a double layer in the heel while leaving the toes alone. With one day on the new arrangement, I think things may have finally settled in.
Beyond sizing - Walking mode works well when the buckles are undone. I can skin for hours with absolutely no discomfort. I really like Garmont's mechanism that holds the buckles, even when they're undone, until you press on the release button. It makes for much quicker transitions from touring to skiing. The cant adjustment doesn't go far enough to account for my needs. I haven't experienced anything like the other reviewer, where the bales press into the boot toe.
Given the chance to do it again, I'd probably go with a different boot.
Great boot for a great binding
Nice enhancements
Some nice improvements in ease of putting on, taking off, including the grab loops.
Negative Reviews:
This was my second NTN boot and it didn't last too long for me. The boot definitely isn't as torsionally stiff as any of the Crispi boots or the Scarp Tx-Comp. Granted the boot has a smooth forward flex, but this is to an extent. If you ever get in a deep turn, you can feel the toe box deform over the toe bail of the binding. Garmont designed this boot with such a tight fit into the binding, that the boot will start to fold over the bail and put pressure on your big toe if you have a performance fit. This also cause the whole toe box to deform. This doesn't happen in my Shivers or Comps, both of which I also have a performance fit. Even though Garmont "stiffened" up the bellows, the bellows aren't as stiff as stated. I would compare them to a Scarpa T2 or Garmont Synergy, but nothing like the Voodoo or Energy as in bellows flex. For all these reason I lable it the "False" Prophet.
