Get unprecedented front- and backcountry performance with the controlled flex and lateral torsion offered by Garmont's Prophet telemark boots - featuring a replaceable “second heel” for long term usage. These NTN tele boots sport Power Wrap overlap construction to lock you into every carve and give you amazing range of motion when released, and the ergo bellows provide the most ergonomic flex for smooth control and power transfers. F09 f09skiboot Specifications based on size 27.5.

Features:

  • Comes with replaceable "second heel" that is built of a tough, high-density nylon
  • Designed to offer more flex and comfort as the medium soft Ergo Bellows have 2 zones of compression that allow for a progressive flex as well as preventing toe pinch and bellow collapse
  • Dial in the fit with the low-profile lace system and get in and out quickly thanks to the 2 pull-on loops on the front and back of the liner
  • Get quick response and support as the double-injected cuff wraps closely around the leg; Power Wrap technology assures the shell design follows the contours of the foot and ankle for more efficient support and comfort
  • NTN New Telemark Norm-compatible bole works with NTN-style bindings
  • Strap yourself in via the 3-buckle magnesium closures, while the power strap provides stability for more control
  • Walk more easily with the overlap design of the shell that eliminates the restrictive tongue to allow more mobility and less resistance between the cuff and lower shell
  • Your feet are wrapped for comfort in the Rapid thermoformable liners that feature 4 foam thicknesses and densities for dialed in comfort and support, while the Strobel-stitch design allows the footbed and foot to sit flatter and better anchored in the liner

The Garmont factory has manufactured footwear for over 140 years. Garmont is at the height of innovation for footwear and ski boots and produces the only ski boots with triple-injection technology. Garmont trail footwear features Garmont anatomically directed design and spine system technology which adds stability to footwear at less weight.

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.

Tele systems for the next decade

Rating:*****
I've been considering converting full time to tele over the past few years but had always used my alpine gear on those "fast" days here in the east. The traditional tele gear (G3 bindings) was great for me to learn on but I couldn't keep up with my alpine buddies.

This year I decided to try the NTN system with the Garmont Prophet boot the the Rottefella NTN binding, and I may never go back.

After skiing the new gear for 12 days over the Christmas holidays, I can't come up with a single complaint. The boots have just the right flex point to allow me to use an agressive alpine turn on the flats, jump turns in the bumps, and a full tele turn when I want to get low. I'm impressed with the Garmont features and feel that it's worth the extra cost for a 2010 version. The only thing I needed to do was put in a differenet foot bed with a thin riser plate as the 26.5 was a bit big for my 8.5 size foot.

While the Garmont boots are nice, the Rottefella NTN binding is even more impressive. It's stable side-to-side and the piston springs keep the ski flat on my foot in transistion so I don't feel like I have to "find" the ski every time I initiate a new turn. I did a few spin-outs and one or two face plants and was pleased to see that the bindings came off when they needed to. All this, and the orange color looks cool too.

If you're thinking of buying new tele gear this year, spend the extra bucks and go for NTN. You won't be sorry!

One of the quotes I saw in Telemark Tips was "There are 2 opinions of NTN. Either people love them, or haven't skied them yet". I think whoever said this first was right.

Awesome control and edging

Rating:*****
This boot works with the NTN bindings and skis as a complete system. Power and edging are incredible.
