The new Spirit 4 is the 4-buckle version of the Spirit 3. For only 4 oz. more it gives you better downhill performance. It has a dual density Pebax nylon outer shell, which adds rigidity while keeping the weight down. It has more skiing performance than the Matrix, and when used with a Dynafit binding, because the contact dimples are 5 mm further back from the toe, there is greater touring efficiency. An overlapping cuff, four buckles, and a power strap spread pressure more evenly across the foot and lower leg. It has a variable forward lean selector (19 or 23 degrees). One of the best choices for AT skiers who want top downhill performance and Dynafit binding capability. New this year, Scarpa has switched to Intuition Thermoform foam liners, They use the best foam and materials available, are pre-lasted at the factory, use Zero-Stitch Contact construction to prevent unnecessary pressure points, and have an overlap closure to give you padding and support. The liners are reinforced in high wear areas, are fast drying, and pack out less than any other foam used for liners. They can be used as a hut booty as well. For mail order customers, any good downhill ski shop should have trained knowledgeable staff to assist you with thermoflex fitting. Since each 1/2 size and the next full size above use the same shell and Thermofit liner (i.e., the 27.5 liner and shell are identical to the 28), and thermoflexing allows for accurate fitting at least every full size, we stock shell sizes. Sizes:, 24.5/25, 25.5/26, 26.5/27, 27.5/28, 28.5/29, 29.5/30, 30.5/31 Mondo Point
Scarpa Spirit 4 touring boots are built to take you up, down and across any terrain that you want to challenge. These boots fit the Dynafit binding system to optimize tour prowess without compromising weight or touring control, but they'll also work perfectly in all alpine touring binding systems. Specifications based on size 27.
The Spirit 4 ski boots are the Scarps's most popular touring boot perfectly blended between modern free ride and classic alpine touring. This freeride-oriented AT boot uses four buckles and a dual-density shell for optimum power transmission yet includes a hinged tongue for easy forward-flex while touring. Scarpa gave the Spirit 4 boot a ratchet heel retention system for solid heal hold without the weight of traditional four-buckle boots. For the really steep stuff, swap out the regular tongue for the included, super stiff ski tongue and experience even more driving power. Scarpa's Intuition Precision High inner boot uses the same type of foam used in medical orthotics, which eliminates the need for a footbed and saves on weight.

Spirit 4 | |
| Rating: |  |
Midway through my second season in these, now, skiing them all over Western Canada, and in Switzerland, France, and Italy. I use them for everything - hut trips, camping, working races, ski mountaineering. They're good all around, fit well (roomy), tighten up and lock down efficiently, and are reasonably comfortable on long or involved uptracks. I like their shape and flex, and the fact that they're higher in the larger sizes (some boots seem to be sized such that they only become larger in the length of the sole as the size goes up, rather than sized in a truly scalar fashion). I put duct tape on one of the liners for the first time the other week, to cover stitching torn stomping them into the shell in dark boot rooms. The canting bolts/collars seem to drift with use and flex, but they're easy enough to tighten back to their original position with the key provided. That's about it - a step above what was available even a couple of years ago. Nice. | |

Great boots! | |
| Rating: |  |
Ok, these boots are awesome, but, they DO take some teaking to get them right where you need them in terms of fit. First, measure your foots length in terms of centimeters. Place a piece of paper against a wall, then, place your heel against the same wall and slowly put your foot down on the piece of paper. You want to BE SURE that the paper is flush with the wall, or else, your sizing could be off. Then, mark the end of your longest toe and measure the length in centimeters. This is nowhere near as accurate as shell fitting, but, if you are looking here at Backcountry, you can't shell fit, now can you. The volume can be tricky to take care of. Once I got mine, I saw a professional boot fitter and got custom footbeds made and that was that. Great boots, great touring mode...top notch all around. | |

As a recent convert to AT, I am more than pleasantly surprised by these boots. So light and responsive, while being super comfy. The magazine reviews complain of the buckles, but I think the reviewers need some occupational therapy. I think the buckles are perfectly fine. They are extremely easy to switch from the ski/walk modes. I am 5'7" 175 lbs, and ski aggressively. After alpine skiing my entire life, I would recommend these boots to anyone - veteran and beginner alike. I have a very wide foot and high instep, usually struggle with heel slippage. These almost feel custom fit, before the heat molding. If you weigh more than 175, and are more aggressive, you might want a beefier boot. A few times they felt a little soft. 100% satisfied with my purchase. | |

Spirit 4 | |
| Rating: | |
Got these at the end of last year, and have loved the fit ever since. The liner is both comfortable and warm, and the boot is lightweight and supportive. I have been using them at the resort with the black tongues, and they ski great (just a little less responsive than my alpine boots). With the interchangable tongues, th 4 buckles, and the power strap, I can make them as flexible or almost as stiff as I would like. Great boot all around! | |

Super Lightweight yet durable | |
| Rating: | |
Bought these skis for use with dynafit, so incredible. Lightweight yet durable enough to use with dynafits for resort groomers the past few weeks. Wouldn't necessarily pay full price though because I did buy them used at the UAC sale but still an incredible boot. Also works very well with regular alpine bindings | |
