With carbon-fiber reinforcements, interchangeable soles, magnesium buckles, and an updated G-Fit High lace-up liner, the Garmont Endorphin Alpine Touring Boot offers unparalleled performance and strength. Powerful enough to drive the biggest planks in the gnarliest conditions, and still light and comfortable enough for day tours, the Endorphin nails high performance versatility like no other ski boot. The thermo-moldable G-fit 3 liner provides support and customized comfort. The liner's lace-up system locks your heel down for an optimal, secure fit within the shell. The multi-injected cuff and carbon fiber-reinforced shell maintain structure and stiffness no matter how hard you charge, providing quick and precise power transmission throughout the boot. Magnesium buckles keep the Endorphin Boot lightweight while the two lower buckles' Icebreaker pins destroy ice that can accumulate during long tours. Choose between alpine or AT skiing for the day with the interchangeable soles—one Vibram AT sole and one standard ISO alpine sole.
Bottom Line: The Garmont Endorphin Alpine Touring Boot leaves you with no excuse to stay in bounds.

Are the G-fit liners meant to be used with a foot bed inside the liner?

These, like most boots, come with a fairly flimsy footbed, which is best replaced with something beefier. But, yes the footbed will go inside the liner.

These boots really do excel at fairly opposite jobs. They're super comfortable (would recommend the heat molding though!) when walking around or skinning but pretty phenomenal when you strap them down and pick a line. I've skied backcountry and resorts with these with both AT and alpine bindings and, while less stiff than my old alpine boots, do a pretty great job with control and power. I've only used the Vibram AT sole and it makes walking around easier. Would highly recommend. I have a medium width foot, and low arches, so I did opt for superfeet, but the fit is perfect now! For reference, I'm usually a 13-14 in a street shoe and went with a 30.0.

What is the principle difference between an Alpine boot and an AT boot? Other than the sole?

Besides the lugged sole and lighter weight, AT boots have a release switch of some form on the ankle. This allows a more natural pivot while skinning or walking, and locks in place for the downhill.

The biggest difference should be weight since the AT boots are meant to go uphill as well as downhill....

I needed a boot for inbounds skiing that would give me comfort and enough stiffness to push my alpine skis around. I work at the JH resort and spend the whole day on my skis. My alpine boots where killing me and I have tried the best boot fitters in the area with little relief. I'm pleased to say that the Endorphin has filled all my expectations. They are softer than my alpine boots, but not enough to go back in fact I think I like the feel better. I like the touring sole as well; I can walk around with confidence that I'm not going to slip and fall. I'm 54 and not as aggressive as I used to be, but feel confident that the Endorphin will take me anywhere on the big mountain I need to go. Two thumbs up!

Write your question here...I love these boots after being properly fitted and shell punched. How do I get an extra set of liners?

You can contact Garmont to set something up. Another way would be to contact Intuition, and see if they have a liner that fits this boot, because their liners are the best.

How difficult is it to termo-fit the liner at home (if I were to buy the boots online)?

You can do it, google it, there is some good beta on line...but be careful, it is easy to cook them too long and ruin them. Plus, if you spend the 40 bucks at a boot fitter they might really trick it out to fit just right.

Most thermo-fits can be done in front of a heating duct, or fireplace. They will also form to your foot after a few long, sweaty ski days.

What's the widest alpine touring boot on the market? My tele boots are Garmont Synergy's, which are quite wide, but I've heard mixed reviews on the AT question. I'm talking mid-foot width and toebox. Thanks, Nick

I have 2 year old Adrenalins. Will new replacement rockers for the Adrenalin fit on an Endorphin with the same shell size?
By: skdoprogut100052506
February 10, 2009
yes, the lug soles and alpine soles are the same on Adrenalin's and Endorphin's so as long as they are the same shell size they will work.

I have heard that the Garmont shells/liners realy just come in one-size jumps and they rely on the thermofit to dial the fitting. Is this true?If so, would the 29.5 size be the same as the 29 or the 30? Thanks CoryAlso. I have a pressure point on the outside of my foot, just forward and above the ankle pivot "axle". Does anyone, know if the shell could be blown out in that spot by a good bootfitter, and not interfere with the walk mode?
By: Drew

The same is true for all ski boots, the shell and liner actually is the same per full size. The only difference is the insole, which is sized per half size.Depending on the Vendor, Shells/ Liners will fall on either the Half or the Full size. Garmont AT shells fall on the Half. ie: 29.0/29.5 are the same.

Can you safely use the vibrum sole in an alpine binding?
Can you safely use the vibrum sole in an alpine binding?
By: Mike
January 8, 2009
Garmont doesn't recommend using the vibram sole with an alpine binding. The friction from the rubber sole will interfere with the release of the binding. If your alpine binging has enough height adjustment you might get it to fit, but it won't give you a consistent release at the DIN it is set for. Use the flat alpine sole for alpine bindings.
By: Tim Coats
May 12, 2009
Yes. The tongue and heel are plastic on top where the binding grips.---------------This boot comes with two soles, one for AT bindings and one for standard alpine bindings. The difference in that the At sole is rockered for easier walking and require an adjustable height toe piece that is standard on AT bindings. The standard ISO or "alpine" sole is flat to come in contact with non-adjustable height toe pieces.

I am looking for a stiff boot that can go into the side country
I am looking for a stiff boot that can go into the side country and play in the park. I ski instruct, but was a collegiate ski racer then competitively ski bumps. I need a boot that can do it all. I am 5'4" and 170lbs so anything less than a 110 flex is too soft. I like narrow boots. I liked Langes narrower boots, but the newer models seem too wide. Is there a boot that will work? Am I trying to get too much out of one pair of boots? What do you think would be the best boot for me?
