The Rossignol BC X3 Nordic Ski Boot is the go-anywhere do-anything boot for the skier who wants versatility. The B3 X3 Ski Boot goes with an NNN BC binding. It's burly enough to make your own trail through the woods or over a frozen lake, but it's also light enough to use in track when you don't feel like putting in the extra work to break trail. The nylon lace cover means you don't have to thaw your boots in your car before untying them at the end of a long tour. Rossignol built the BC X3 Boots with a nylon midsole which offers a compromise between power and comfort. The boots are stiff enough to control the skis while you're turning, and soft-flexing enough to be comfortable.

Design flaw | |
| Rating: |  |
| I agree with other reviewers that the zippered outer gaiter on this boot was designed badly. I can't imagine anyone with a narrow enough ankle to be able to zip it up while the boot is actually on! The good news, however, is that the outer gaiter isn't crucial, especially if you plan to wear separate gaiters. I have a very narrow heel, and hoped this boot would fit tightly enough so my heel didn't slip. Unfortunately, it only held perfectly in place if I tightened the boot so much that my feet ached. Women with more average heel widths probably won't have any problems. I liked the lacing system a lot, and this boot provided a lot of ankle support and was quite warm. It just didn't work well for ME. I tried on a newer model -- the BC 5 -- and the narrow gaiter ankle issue seems to have been fixed. | |

I tried the Rossi's with my Sierras today and was moderately impressed. I found them to be a comfortable and versatile boot. I would have liked to have seen a little more suport in the ankles. But in their defense I was doing quite a bit of off trail backcountry rough work. My biggest complaint is my zipper on one of my boots kept coming apart. However, they still kept my feet toasty, comfortable and dry, with very little ankle fatigue. | |

Most comfortable boot | |
| Rating: |  |
I've been XC skiing on and off since 1977 and this is by far the most comfortable pair of back country capable boots that I have worn. They are warm, stable and offer good ankle and lateral support. In fact, performance wise they compare favorable to my older Merrell NNN-BC (heavy) leather boots which are much stiffer, but do not offer that much of an advantage unless you are carving some steep downhill terrain. | |

Just took up cross country sking after 30 some years. I damaged my left foot slipping off a log deer hunting about 10 years ago and was afraid I would not be able to find a boot that would allow me to ski without causing a lot of pain. These boots have great support and are as comfortable as slippers. Great product. Back on the skis having a great time. | |

Boots rock | |

Full disclosure: I've only used them once, because my partner then broke her wrist and I haven't had time to go again. But she has these boots as well and we both love them. | |

Ran small had to send back | |
| Rating: | |
| I sent them back. They seemed like excellent boots, though I am unsure if I would like how stiff it felt with the ankle strap. They were too small and didn't have another size so I got some different ones. | |

Give me blisters | |
| Rating: |  |
I can't say much about how good the product is if it gave me some bad blisters. The cause of the blister is in the heel due to the lapping of the stitching of the plastic heel around the back of the boots. There is not much padding and as my foot slides up a little it rubs against that seam (which is in a very bad spot) I got blisters on both heel after skiing for 10 kms total while wearing fairly thick wool socks, . I was feeling it coming on around 5 kms and if I didn't have that thicker wool socks, I would of been in more discomfort. Definitely would not recommend this to anybody. To improve the boot, I would add more padding inside and lap that seam the other way. | |

Good Length, tight ankles | |
| Rating: | |
| These boots were very tight on me in the ankles. They fit fine in the length and width. I'm not a thin, skinny person. I have a bulky, muscular body. I normally wear a size 12 in womens. I tried the mens BC X3 and that did the trick. Just a little more room in the ankles. I wear a 40 in my climbing shoes and I went with a 42 for these boots because they do run small besides the ankles. | |

Runs small | |

| I wear a size 9 (40) which is the size I ordered- couldn't even get my foot in! A great deal, but consider ordering a bigger size :) | |

run small, beware blisters | |
| Rating: |  |
These boots are awesome, except they run small and gave me wicked blisters. Thought I would get used to them, but the heel slip never faded. Although they were the size I normally wear, they felt at least a half size smaller. I didn't find them to be very warm either. | |
